Beautiful tribute to Felicity Lott in August Opera. Let me see if I can share a link.
People questioned Michael Cacoyiannis when he cast the Irene Papas as Helen in The Trojan Women. Vanessa Redgrave was Andromache, and many thought she should have been Helen. Cacoyiannis knew what he was doing and opened some minds. Maybe Nolan and Nyongo will open some more.
