Un couple talentueux et tellement sympathique...Opéras et comédies musicales, ils sont toujours parfaits...

This is still so heartbreaking to watch. Such great artists in the middle of a divorce, and still having to try and push those things aside to be professional. I can only imagine how hard that had to be.

Of course you realize they were in the process of a divorce, so if they're not emotionally together it's understandable. But they are each very fine singers.

[@danmarten330]

now this is what you call a royal couple!

[@siotimic]

They look like they just had a fight before this rehearsal.... I can see it in Stephen's...... Nevertheless, gorgeous voices......

Ok I know it's only a rehearsal, but these are excepts of love duets. She is a superb singer and he has a very fine voice. But it certainly doesn't look like they even like each other much, and he's clearly not listening to her, just singing forte most of the way through this tender music. At 1.40 he glances at his watch as if "When is this going to be over?" As an artist he's not in her league.

sorry. what a showboat! That's not what Bernstein wrote. there are No "Extra tenor high notes". if your singing isn't strong enough to make an.impression, adding overbearing high notes is just feeble. Please.

[@senorgato70]

Oh, please. And what are you doing with your singing career?

Wow you are so mean. Glad I didn’t read this a year ago! Damn.
