Re: [MBZ] GUMP is DEAD - Long Live Opera!
My favorite operatic star is Sherrill Milnes. I have seen him in a number of Puccini works, and he just wails in every one. He is better known for his work in Verdi operas, however. Got to do a meet and greet with him at the Florentine Opera when we lived in Milwaukee, since we were patrons. Nice guy - I didn't know it until then that he was from Illinois! He is supposed to be a consultant for the opera here in Tampa, but I haven't seen him around for any of their performances. Probably just a gig to get him on the bill...
