NEA Opera Honors: Federica Von Stade on Marilyn Horne

[@linnyloo2]

Wonderful interview with a great artist! Much of what Flicka says about Jackie could equally be applied to herself. In my experience of Flicka in recital, the "warmth and generosity" of what she gives to her audience is very special, making an evening spent in her presence a life-enhancing experience. Flicka gives ME "faith in human nature!" Thank you, dear Flicka, for forty years of joy!

OMG yes...Ms Horne is not only a great singer but what an amazing person...and Flicka is the same. LOVE THEM BOTH!

baritonebynight My wife has always said that if she could sing She wanted to sound like Madame Von Stade. I think my wife has excellent taste/ choices in life. After all she married me. 46 years this last March. 💏 Arnold Bourbon Amaral

@@arnoldamaral7406 A singer needs to sound like themselves. Flicka would tell you that same thing.

[@jimbuxton2187]

@@baritonebynight but if you're not a singer and wished you were one... you might like to sound like someone else...but yes, we must all embrace our own sound. Sometimes though, singing like another person represents they're style...or diction or musicality....

I couldn't agree with you more, linnyloo! You're SO right. Flicka also gives me faith in human nature. Gosh, there's just no one like her, it seems. She's just absolutely incredible. Truly a treasure. God bless her! : )

Erika Cockerham She's a lady who is first of all humble & meek. A rare attribute in our time.When people are protesting armed with rifles & acting & looking like low common trash. Killing a young black man because he looked like the burglar etc. That has become the New Norm. In this world we live in.Take their weapon away & they shrink back like cowards. People like Our Fricka are rare in these times of so much violence. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

It is called self esteem.
