Well... I do. I mean, that was my point to asking. I
know that one can make a good career as a regional
singer. There are many fine singers who affiliate
themselves with a certain house, and sing large and
small parts for that house so as not to disrupt their
families (Philip Skinner is one such name for the San
Francisco Opera, and I know there have been many
Met-centric singers). That is a good choice to make,
but it's not what I want from my life.
I'm weighing the advantages and disadvantages of
having children while building and sustaining a
fast-paced, American and European career of some
magnitude.
Obviously, I may fail, but I'd like to consider the
issues involved before I find myself in the
uncomfortable positions of Fleming and Sills. Could
they have planned their families/careers better and
been happier?
