A Favorite Headline

Linda Ronstadt made a recording of La Boheme, singing the role of Mimi.

Now, in Boheme, Mimi's candle burns out, so she goes upstairs to get a light & knocks on a door. Rodolfo is there. He lights her candle, but it goes out. Then she drops her key & he helps her look for it on the floor. He touches her hand & sings the lovely aria, Your tiny hand is cold. (Che gelida manina.)

Time magazine reviewed the recording.

Its headline:

HER TINY VOICE IS COLD.
