Most performers do their best to sing as well as possible on stage. But what if the part calls for singing opera really, really badly? Is that difficult?
“No! Not if you’re not an opera singer – it’s not hard to sing badly at all,” says Diana McLean, last seen at the Q in 4000 Miles.
She is touring in Glorious! as Florence Foster Jenkins, the American socialite and amateur opera singer once dubbed “the first lady of the sliding scale”.
