Meryl Streep: The Fresh Air Interview
By Staff
• NPR • Tuesday, February 07, 2012
On studying opera as a teenager: "I was 13. I didn't like opera. Ew. I liked cheerleading and boys — that was what I was interested in, and Barbra Streisand, The Beatles and Bob Dylan. But I loved singing. I loved it. And I did have a very good coloratura. I listened to my high school Music Man just as I was getting ready to get the Kennedy Center Honors with Barbara Cook, because I had been to see her when I was a kid in The Music Man on Broadway. And I had sung the part in my high school production and it's very good, but it's a voice I don't have anymore. It was very high and light and free."

Thelma: an opera world premiere
By Tom Service
• The Guardian • Tuesday, February 07, 2012
Thelma. It's not exactly the world's most promising title for an opera. But this isn't the story of one half of a female-bonding fugitive drama, or even a musical based on bestockinged northern women from Last of the Summer Wine-era BBC central casting. Thelma is the (supposedly) lost opera by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Croydon's most famous son, and still the country's most celebrated mixed-race classical composer, who died 100 years ago after collapsing with pneumonia on the platform of West Croydon station late in the summer of 1912.
