?If it is possible, somebody could get me the vocal score of?!
Question: From the Broadway Comic Opera "The Enchantress" - 1911 - Composer: Victor Herbert
The song:
ART IS CALLING FOR ME (I WANT TO BE A PRIMA DONNA)
This hilarious song is part of the repertoire of the astonishing sopranos like: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Lesley Garrett (Amazing Primadonna of the English National Opera (ENO). Miss Lesley is not only a Great soprano, she in one the most amazing and beautiful woman in the world.
She have her Official Website:
http://www.lesleygarrett.co.uk/
But to contact it is necessary to be part of their fan club and have a membership.
In fact I am not in a very good economic moment, if somebody can get it, please, would it Be possible?
Maybe some young soprano, student, can obtain it of a library?
If not possible, it's ok, with all my love and respect for one the most beatiful country in the world.
Yours

Amigo Fabian:
Tambien soy una admiradora de Kiri Te Kanawa y la hermosa y talentosa Lesley Garrett, y no puedo lamentablemente ayudarte en eso.
Por otro lado te comento que las Normas de Yahoo Respuestas prohiben hacer preguntas o responder en otro idioma, que no sea espa?ol.
Te pueden denunciar y bajar la pregunta.
Reformula en castellano, y muchos podrán ayudarte!!!
Suerte amigo!!!
Mama is a queen and Papa is a king
So I am a princess (and) I know it
But court etiquette is a dull dreary thing
I just hate it all and I show it
To sing on the stage that's the one life for me
My figure's just like Tetrazzini
I know I'd win fame if I sang in Bohéme
That opera by Signor Puccini
I’ve roulades and the trills
That would send the cold chills
Down the backs of all hearers of my vocal frills
Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aa...
I long to be a prima donna, donna, donna
I long to shine upon the stage
I have the embonpoint
To become a queen of song
And my figure would look pretty as a page
I want to be a screechy peachy cantatrice
Like other plump girls that I see
I hate society
I hate propriety
Art is calling for me
I'm in the elite and men sigh at my feet
Still I do not fancy my position
I have not much use for the men that I meet
I quite burn with lyric ambition
Those tenors so sweet
If they made love to me
I'd be a success, that I do know
And Melba I’d oust if I once sang in Faust
That opera so charming by Gounod
Girls would be on the brink
Of hysterics, I think
Even strong men would have to go out for a drink
I long to be a prima donna, donna, donna
I long to shine upon the stage
With my avoirdupois
And my tra la la la la
I would be the chief sensation of the age
I long to hear them shouting: "Viva" to the Diva
Oh, very lovely that must be
That's what I'm dying for
That's what I'm sighing for
Art is calling for me
