| Alan, did Pinza have a better attendance record in "Fanny"? My parents told me they saw the show and were impressed by him and Slezak, though they told me that Florence Henderson's voice didn't project that well (granted, maybe that was in comparison Pinza's operatic instrument). One of my all-time favorite operatic stars, Lawrence Tibbett replaced Pinza later in the run. I think Tibbett's glorious voice was on the decline by then, but he had been a famous singing actor in opera and the first opera star nominated for a Best Actor Oscar (for the mostly lost film "The Rogue Song" though the full soundtrack and some scenes exist). Do you have any information on how he did in the role or reactions at the time? | |
