Oh, the quotes one gets from opera class...

The Marriage of Figaro was the text in question for the day, and Greg and I collect Joanna quotes.
Today, we have Joanna Greenwood on the topics of:

  • Droit de seigneur: "Oh, it's entirely charming." *nose wrinkles in disgust*
  • Dr. Bartolo: "Now, what does he do? He's a lawyer, and rather a busy-body; often sticks his fingers in pies he shouldn't." (Greg and I, thinking of his relationship with Marcellina, start snorking rather heartily at that point.)
  • On Cerubino in Non so più cosa son...: "It has that sense of..." *Joanna starts wildly panting while playing the piano parts of the aria*
I love this woman. She is really funny, and knows how to get us interested in the material. Yay!!!
