CENTRAL Patrice Munsel gets well-deserved ed ovation PATRICE MUNSEL.
Accompanied on the piano by Paul Bogaev. Second offering of the Celebrity Series sponsored by Temple Emanu-El. Program: selected arias from "La Boheme, Butterfly," "Cosi Fan Tutti," plus medlies of Broadway and popular songs. Presented at the Temple. By Bob Curtright Wichita Beacon staff Patrice Munsel was a little breathless in her Wichita performance Sunday night, partly from an untimely malady that swelled her vocal chords, but mostly from an errant sound system that fuzzed out some of the quality of her notes.
But those gremlins couldn't stop her from delivering a magnificent show that brought the audience to its feet a phenomenon that Celebrity Series officials said has happened only once before in the past decade. It was a standing ovation well deserved. For nearly two hours without a break, Munsel demonstrated her vocal versatility with enthusiastic abandon from operatic arias that reverberated the auditorium with her powerful soprano to ballads that crept across the footlights and curled up intimately with each audience member. And in between songs she kept a running line of banter that gave meaning and continuity to her performance besides providing an icebreaker that brought her close to the audience as a person. She was tender at times.
She was touching. She was funny. She was fun. Overall, she was fantastic. Munsel still holds the record of being the youngest person (at 17) ever to be signed to a contract with the Metropolitan Opera, and she demonstrated with disarming ease the talent in that vein that captivated those connoisseurs.
Despite the malady (which required some eleventh-hour doctoring so she could go on), her voice nearly overpowered the auditorium when she swept into "'Musetta's Waltz" from Puccini's "La Boheme." Later in the program, she did that same feat again with "Un Bel Di" from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly." Review At the same time, she proved herself a master of control in holding a high, soft, sweet note (prominent in both of those arias) without waver, without strain, without going harsh. Ethereal is the word to describe those moments. The notes seemed to stretch infinitely into the mists of both time and space before disappearing into the vast silence of eternity. After 15 years with the Met, Munsel tackled both radio and television, and then the Broadway musical stage. Her program reflected that taste for the popular and melodic through a medley from such famous shows as "Sound of Music," 'My Fair Lady" and "Mame." Other tunes, she performed in their entirety to the entire satisfaction of the audience.
Prominent among these was "Send in the Clowns" from "A Little Night Music." Her emotionladen interpretation never dipped into maudlin, and it proved to be one of the most moving moments of the evening. She had great fun skipping down memory lane with selections from the 1940s, interspersing humor with nostalgia and 1 prompting chuckle after chuckle. Beaming at the audience, she noted that "In those days marriage was before children, dancing Oil pioneer C. H. Todd Deaths and services dies at 78 Charles Henry Todd, Wichita oil man and pioneer in the field of rotary drilling, died Sunday.
