We have another winner. Uccellino wins the second Crucible Quiz with the following comment: “According to the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/11/arts/music/11kelley.html?fta=y), the American tenor Norman Kelley premiered the title role of Schweik and was also in the premier of The Crucible.” Yes, uccellino is correct about tenor Norman Kelley premiering the title role of Schweik, and he was the Reverand Samuel Parris in the premiere of The Crucible. Two other overlaps between The Good Soldier Schweik and The Crucible were Mary LeSawyer, and Chester Ludgin.
Now on to Part B of my question: sadly, no one made a stab at this one, even after my pretty blatant hint. The correct answer is none other than High Point’s own Anthony Dean Griffey. He performed Schweik at Glimmerglass Opera in 2003. Below are images of ADG as Schweik:
OK, so I hope that everyone enjoyed this quiz. You might be wondering where Vögelchen is getting his information for his quizes. Vögelchen cannot reveal his sources yet, but all will be disclosed at a later date.
Vögelchen you are one mysterious dude!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting--that must be the Glimmerglass production that the New York Times referenced in Norman Kelley's obituary. Anthony Dean Griffey is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteuccellino, you are correct. That was the Glimmerglass production that the NY Times referenced in Norman Kelley's obituary.
