If there are any opera buffs who object to my hijacking the "comedy" channel I'll change it, but, I'm sorry... this just cracks me up!

Man, Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior, are the gods of Wagnerian opera.....Melchior was a heavy cigar smoker as well......got a great disc with just their duets.....

There is a hot discussion on the YouTube re: Ms Flagstad's acting ability and if her smiles were appropriate to the scene depicted, etcetera. I think she's awesome and in my ignorance don't really care!

Oh and I see Cecilia Bartoli in the related videos. If you haven't seen that, give yourself a treat.
