DR elmore3003, which recording of The Bartered Bride do you recommend?
Long before PBS there was NBC Television Opera, which not only presented standard repertoire, but new or unfamiliar works like Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites, Prokofiev's War and Peace, Britten's Billy Budd, and Menotti's The Labyrinth. This series was responsible for the 1951 broadcast, and subsequent performances, of Amahl and the Night Visitors, which I first saw while recuperating from pneumonia around 1955.
Omnibus - was that on CBS? - presented abridged versions of the Met's Die Fledermaus and La Perichole, along with plays - The Apollo of Bellac by Giraudoux, She Stoops to Conquer, Sophocles' , etc. - excerpts from musicals, ballets, Leonard Bernstein conducting Handel's Messiah, etc.
The ones I really looked forward to were Hallmark Hall of Fame broadcasts: Eva le Gallienne's Alice in Wonderland, Julie Harris in Victoria Regina, Roddy McDowell and Lee Remick in The Tempest, Mary Martin in Born Yesterday, Christopher Plummer in Cyrano de Bergerac, the Lunts in Magnificent Yankee, and too many others.
DR Elmore, fellow Stratas aficionado --
I wasn't aware of that CD, but do you also have her MET Bartered Bride on DVD?
I fell asleep, and then slept for one hour. Now I am wide awake. I am afraid to look in the mirror, I think I may have turned into DR Jane!
Thanks for all the bathroom well wishes.
Management's plans for today are to run water in all of the bathrooms above ours. When it starts pouring here, we'll know where the problem is. At least they're doing something, but it will mean more water and clean up. And the chance of the ceiling falling in. It's already puckering.

Yes DR DRUXY I enjoyed your performance in WORLD'S FAIR as I always do.

Nicole Kidman is NOT Lucille Ball.
Debra Messing is not even FRED Ball!
I wouldn't mind a REAL biopic.....but when they start reproducing Ball's classic skits - the shortcomings are front and center.
And Javier Bardem is much too old......but then again so is Kidman.....
No more water dripping vibes for DR singdaw.

Cheryl Bentyne and Alan Paul of The Manhattan Transfer channeled Lucy and Ricky for their video of Blee Blop Blues (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgLiySJsAfc)! :D

Jane - sing the children's song to yourself. ;)
DR elmore3003 - was wondering if you can set your FB settings to content viewed only by friends, and if that could prevent malicious friends of friends from reporting you to FB jail.

I don't even get the joke ;D

As of now I am eleigible for the Covid-19 virus. I will see if I can book an appointment tomorrow.
We watched the first episode and loved it. Yes remakes, yet different.

I didn't see the need for a remake, but maybe I'll give it a try.

I just read some good news. Yesterday I left a voice mail and sent an email to my Republican representative in the House expressing my opinion on how she should vote.
I just read Herrera Beutler will be voting to impeach, something she did not do last time.
Bryan said the cases of covid at his hospital have dropped. I hope they continue dropping.
Thanks for sending me the wind storm, George!
