Alternatively it could be to stash cards up his sleeve ;)

Make that The Queen of Queens

Submitted by Don Struke on Thu, 08/30/2012 - 6:48pm.

Pavarotti called Ponselle "The Queen of Queens in all of singing" and my guess is he ought to have known. Someone else said she had "perfect homogeneity in all her tessitura, with immaculate legato" and I have little idea what the heck that means, but it sure sounds good. She generally is ranked by music critics as one of the greatest sopranos of the past 100 years.

Outside of Baltimore and just seven miles from this PC keyboard is Villa Pace, the quite beautiful house owned by Ponselle, where she died in 1981 at 84.

Style Notes

Tyroler has quite the vented cuff on his suit jacket. I guess to accommodate his french cuffs. Not sure I've ever seen that.

Romani was a conductor and Ponselle's vocal coach; Tyroler was also a conductor and vocal coach; Prilik was Ponselle's secretary.
