I have the pleasure of seeing Amanda Forsythe about 7 times. I am in love with her voice. I would love to see her as Alcina, Theodora and Semele. Le Nozze is also my favorite opera and it would be amazing to see her as Susanna.
I love this woman's voice and admire her good sense regarding her family. Her sons have only one mother, who is irreplacible; opera has plenty of sopranos. Unless she really needs the dough or the applause, there's no point in her sacrificing the kids so that an auditorium full of strangers can hear her rather than someone else. Videos and recordings have already immortalized her.
Great interview, thank you. I love Handel operas, and baroque music of that era, dating from hearing a performance of Semele staged by Harry Christophers and The Sixteen about 25 years ago at the beautiful little opera house in Buxton, Derbyshire. Amanda's performances are just stunningly good, I really enjoy her work with Apollo's Fire and Boston Baroque.
I am so happy you enjoyed the interview. Thank you for sharing your love for Amanda and baroque music. Interviewing Amanda was one of the most delightful experiences in my life.
Beautiful
Amands is one of my favorite singers. It is a joy to listen to this interview.
