EagLOL
Despite what I think about Jane Eaglen's singing, I love the hell out of Jane Eaglen's person. Three reasons:
- Once during rehearsals for Lohengrin, she was about to make her entrance as Ortrud in the final scene. As she made her way through the wood-enclosed wing, she let out a giant belch that resonated right out onto the stage. We had to start over.
- She told us that her mother was really weird and particular about everything. When it was hot in the house, Jane's mother would say, "Janie, I'm feeling rather warm; bring me a cup of tea." "Are you mad?" Jane would retort. "It's a sauna in here and you want a bloody cup of tea!?"
- During the aforementioned Lohengrin rehearsals, Janie passed by me, and I looked down and almost lost it when I saw these shoes on her feet:
OK? OK. That is Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. On a pair of shoes. AMAZING. To this day I can't decide if she was wearing them in earnest or for a laugh. Either way, LOL.
