the
sopranos in my church choir and nail them all the time there) - but as soon
as I see one in an aria, I oversing. It makes me so mad. It happens on
both
"Voi lo sapete" and the Papers Aria from The Consul. Arrggghhh. >>
I call "A" the "tightrope note" for mezzos.... "oops, yep, yep, I've got my
balance... nope, nope, not there ...yeah, now I've got it!"

you something else you do not know already, especially about yourself.
Conversely, pride and arrogance close the door of the mind."
