Way to go Debbie Voigt!
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Not three months after singing her first Brünnhilde in the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of Wagner’s “Walküre,” the soprano Deborah Voigt is performing the title role in Irving Berlin’s “Annie Get Your Gun” here at the Glimmerglass Festival. Though a wide-ranging repertory is an admirable quality in an artist, it is quite a leap from Wagner’s “Ring” to a classic Broadway musical. Coming into this production, Ms. Voigt risked looking foolish.
