Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes indeed, but it has me in a flippin' flap too! That bit I can't get.

Shall I move on and claim the E?

p.s. hello Tapiola

Wiki says she had a hit called White Flag - flags flap

Go for it Flay with the E, I think

[Flay]

Dido's widely emulated hairstyle became known as the "Dido flip"

[Flay]

Let's have an E:

Shocking works: one operatic, one in dance, both with Royal Opera House UK premieres. A lamentable third, an opera civilly updated, was premiered at The Met.

Two Es in fact, sounding the same but spelling minimally varied.*


* amended as #18447 - When I say two Es, I really mean it is the same E with two slightly diferent spellings <doh>

Sorry, everyone (and welcome back, Tapioca! ) - I got waylaid by Betany Hughes and her divine women.

And to confirm:

D for Dido, who, in Purcell's opera, beseeched us "Remember me", who didn't feature in the first "part" of Berlioz's spliced Les Troyens, "La Prise de Troie" which the composer never saw; and the trend-setting coiffeur of Ms Armstrong:

If memory serves, a mediocre yet strangely moving song.

Flay's E: might there be imperial connotations?

There's Bettany Hughes, and then there's Alice Roberts

No I flippin' didn't. Hair too short

I wouldn't say so. Royal perhaps

Ah, you've had that recurring dream, too, I see!

You're a gent, ammy!

Last we spoke, you asked me about the Elizabeth Wilson Shostakovich book. Well, in the interim I have given it a good old read and I am delighted to report that it is very highly recommended. Some stunningly enlightening interviews therein. For example, illuminating discussions on the late quartets and the Michelangelo songs - from some of the original performers of these works, who subsequently recorded them on disc. Fabulous.
