Measha Brueggergosman

While I'm not super-crazy about her voice, I wouldn't be surprised if Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman breaks out into semi-stardom over the next year. When I first saw her, I thought Jill Scott had crossed over to opera [that ought to please Gelb!]. It looks as though she's doing a lot of oratorio work, but New Yorkers will have a chance to add to the already considerable acclaim when she presents a recital at Carnegie Hall on December 3rd. With any luck, she'll be giving face at the Met, too. That is, if the black dress doesn't sing first.

Oh darn, I'll be in Los Angeles on my Tristan pilgrimage!

I cringed after reading this patronizing review:

The diva next door? I can't help but wonder how race plays a factor for this critic in characterizing Brueggergosman as "down-home folk."
