Now that's a sexy count. Thomas Allen was a magnificent performer.

Sir Tom's unmistakable voice! I saw him sing many times (don giovanni and beckmesser being specially fond memories!).
Marie was a great singer too. I have a great memory of her as Katya Kabanova

My God, Marie McLaughlin is such a GREAT ARTIST, she makes of Susanna a deep theatrical role (such as Storace was, I imagine)... I love this video, thanks for posting it...

5:00? My immediate reaction? Oh no she didn't!

That should give him a taste of his own medicine ;-)

I'm a low-ish mezzo, so I never had a chance to begin with...

It seems to be a recurring theme - just check the videos on Gianni Schicchi. If there are bewbs on the stage, he'll be all over them...
