Summary

Singer-comedienne Anna Russell sinks her chops into some of the opera world's tastiest sacred cows in this farewell concert filmed live in 1984 inside Baltimore's Museum of Art. Highlights include Russell's instructions on "How to Become a Singer"; her recollections of "Wind Instruments I Have Known"; her unique interpretation of Richard Wagner's "Ring" cycle; and her performance of "Jolly Old Sigmund Freud."
