Subject:  Re: [vocalist] documentary or movie about singers?

Some of my favorites:

1. In the Shadow of the Stars (already mentioned),
still available, I think.

2. The Making of Opera: The Creation of Verdi's La
Forza Del Destino -- this is a documentary about a
Canadian Opera production of Forza, from conception
through opening night. Covers chorus rehearsals,
principal rehearsals, costume and set design/creation,
problems, etc. Very well done, and still available.

3. Tosca: I Live for Art -- You may have problems
finding this one. It's a series of interviews with 15
divas who've sung the role over the years. A lot of
good insight into the role and preparation required to
sing it.

4. Tosca's Kiss (Il Bacio di Tosca): Memories of the
Italian Opera by Singers and Musicians of the Casa
Verdi, Milan -- just what the title says. These are
retired opera musicians (singers as well as orchestra
members), who share their feelings about their careers,
their lives onstage, etc.

That's all I can think of right now.

Cheers!

Lana
