Archive Import - Comment

Now, for a few views that are not mine:

    As a former opera diva - YES, DIVA - I was interested in your comment re the recent Rigoletto item. �I don't think it's that opera is considered more important than musicals - I first of all don't think that's true in this country. �It's more INFREQUENT, that's for sure - I don't have a City Opera schedule, but Rigoletto probably plays twice a week. I would venture to say covers, they don't use the term understudy in opera, go on probably more than understudies do in musicals. Here's the deal with the newspaper item: it was the opening of the spring season, the opening night of Rigoletto and was most probably going to be reviewed; therefore, a reporter/reviewer attended. �I can promise you if Heather Headley had not done the opening night of Aida, it would have hit the paper.
That is fair. I agree.
