We don't need programs to help restore a singer shortage,we need programs to fill in the shortage of great voice teachers.The tradition is being lost,we need to try to capture as much as possible.No teachers, No singers.
Well, Nicolai is Russian, if memory serves. So, I think Levine's point was focused on Italian musicians exclusively. There are success stories from other nations certainly, Gedda being one. I personally think Bergonzi is/was amazing, and Italian as well.
I wish there was a full video of Levine/Domingo Otello rehearsal
Her voice is lovely!!
Yes.

Nicolai Ghiaurov, you mean? He was Bulgarian.
Oh, Gedda. Yes, he was from Sweden but was partly Russian.
Her Non Mir Dir was good!
Levine eventually agreed to lower by a whole tone Act II of ‘Otello’ for Domingo. Pretty outrageous.
Happens more than folks realize.
Jonah Hill
oh dear oh dear why did jimmy have to abuse a young lad in the 1980s in such a horrible way!?
Hurts so much. We just want to celebrate his genius, but the spectre of his actions remains.
So much BS ! shame on you!
