Another scene I like...Thank you, Renata and Janine! Another scene I liked is the one of Irene imitating Mary Boland´s singing.That´s too funny and Irene gives a pretty good imitation of Boland´s voice! <br />I assume that Irene picked this opera excerpts. At least they had to discuss this with Irene because as a singer you just can´t sing everything properly. The scenes which illustrate her opera career in "Stingaree" are implying other roles. She is announced as singing "Lucia Di Lammermoor" which would be a classical role for a coloratura soprano and then we hear a little something in the background score from Wagner´s Lohengrin which would be "Elsa" - another voice type than Lucia. Normally singers can´t sing both roles: you are either a Lucia or a Elsa. By all means, "The Last Rose Of Summer" was a beautiful and clever choice and perfectly fitting for Irene´s voice.

Yo...It's such an amazing review again, Susanne. You always put into words how I feel about the films. I was thrilled with your little remark about my beloved "The last rose of summer". I can hardly breath when Irene sings it. Yes, I want to believe that Irene picked the song by herself due to her Irish heritage. And how interesting what you said about the "jewel song" though I could never tell the difference. Thank you for everything. I enjoyed your review as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251568927451439906.post-17579577590481452312010-08-23T18:11:56.292-07:002010-08-23T18:11:56.292-07:00I watched Stingaree not long ago and I liked it, m...I watched Stingaree not long ago and I liked it, mainly for the things you mention here...I loved the songs and Irene looked beautiful...the story is not the best one but it has "something"...it's definitely entertaining =)I love your reviews as always =)* R e N a *https://www.blogger.com/profile/00077712763577778564noreply@blogger.com
