@bixbeid She said that ona performance with Bacquier in Tosca, the stagehand forgot to put the knife on the table.. So she took the fork instead and stabbed him. Another time in the same act, she put the knife behind her dress but it remained stuck there and she could not get it out at the right moment; Bacquier was wispering "kill me, dam it kill me" . So at last he let himself fall. The following morning one of the critics said " it's the first time I see Scarpia frightened to death"
When I listen to interviews with Regine Crespin I am always struck by her very dark speaking voice. You would not expect her to be a soprano. Well, she increasingly switched to Mezzo roles later in her career.
