OT opera fans might enjoy this Slate diary by Jane Eaglen... slate.msn.com <snip> I have a tape I have listened to before every performance I have done for around 10 years. Actually this is about the third tape, as I have to make a new one when the old tape gives up the ghost. It started out as music I just liked to listen to but is now a set program. The tape consists of "Anything for Love" by Meatloaf; four Whitney Houston songs, including "I Will Always Love You"; "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler; and "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" by Meatloaf. I sing along to bits of these, always the same bits, and otherwise just listen and get in the mood for performing. The Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler songs were written by Jim Steinman, who also wrote both of Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell albums and is an incredible rock composer in my opinion. I was lucky enough to meet him after a performance of Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner at the Met and was not too surprised to find out he is a Wagner fan. He told me that he would listen to Little Richard and Wagner one after the other and never thought it was weird to enjoy such different types of music back-to-back. I have always felt the same way and usually relax to rock music. <snip> tb@shedoesn'tmentionSirLyre.com
