So very interesting and informative for anyone with a love of the singing voice, especially those familiar with the voice and work of this great artist. What a wonderfully down to earth, caring and articulate woman she was...
What a great artist! A fascinating interview and I hope that students, vocal teachers, and all lovers of great singing get to hear this. A great and intelligent interview. thank you.
Such a joy, this interview is so interesting and informative and is made so much more enjoyable , because of this wonderfully talented and intelligent artist.
This interview is priceless . The information we got about the Flagstad's problems when she returned to United States. All the interwiew is very very good
It's interesting listening to her talk about her career. Ms. Thebom directed a production of "The Barber of Seville" with Marin Opera in which I sang the lead role of Figaro. I've never really known that much about her life and career but it's clear that she had a career under extremely different circumstances than when I was coming up and also in the work today. I think it would be ideal to get young singers to start that early but it's a rare thing. Many fine singers discover they have this talent and actually manage to have big careers relatively late in life.
She was certainly a force to be reckoned with, and her ideas are more relevant today than ever. I think she would be appalled at the current opera practices where the music is merely an element of the director's "grand design."
Fascinating interview. Such an accomplished Artist, cultured and articulate

She was a huge fan of Flagstad!
Yes! Me too!
So am I. She also adored Jussi Bjoerling.
Isn't Thebom the one with famously long hair? Below her waist, or to the floor...
