-------- cadenza 朋友写的趣闻:

“据可靠消息称:Freni从来没在舞台上完整地演过蝴蝶夫人,因为她总是太爱动真情,以至于不能平静地在一晚唱完这部歌剧。”(“Mirella Freni never performed the title role in a full production of Madama Butterfly because she said it made her too emotional:"I tried to do it once. In rehearsal I cried so much the pianist started crying too.")

-------- orfeo朋友对这一趣闻的补充:

“Freni的确从来没在舞台上唱过这个角色,不过不是因为这个原因,而是因为她比较爱护自己的嗓子
Freni选择角色的谨慎是出名的,难怪有人会称她“La Prudentissima”,当然也正是得益于这一点她才能成为长青树。Freni认为蝴蝶夫人这个角色太累,在舞台上差不多从头唱到尾,对嗓子没什么好处,因而也就放弃了在舞台上演唱的机会。”
