Thanks for the name, it really escaped me.

Why does everyone try to constrain him? Don't they know he's a bull in a china shop!?!

The two professional opera singers concentrated on the voices .. which is entirely appropriate. Their feedback was interesting, constructive, and I noticed Meat listening intently to them. But Meat has so much to offer in terms of the drama and conveying the passion/emotions of the pieces .. and drama and passion after all lie at the heart of opera .. Which is a signal reason why his performances are always described as operatic of course So I hope AT reins back his constraints and Meat isn't left again trying to elbow in a useful and interesting piece of feedback in just a few words .. although his were well chosen and hit the mark each time imo. |
I can't help but to agree wholeheartedly.
