Frederika Von Stade. Blast from the past. One of the greatest mezzo's ever. I was trained in classical voice. Learned German and French (loved Schubert and Faure songs) and enough Italian to understand what I was singing. Figaro is great. Don Giovanni my favorite.

> here is one right back at ya' sigi. i don't know you, but i have a feeling there is a romantic heart in you. this is the aria i mentioned earlier. i was lucky to hear fredirika von stade sing it in the 80's. mind you i grew-up as a athlete. wanted to be a professional. then, i found opera and thought i sure wish i could do that instead...
