 who is going to sing this role that sits a little bit high for a baritone and really give it fire. You think, well, Lawrence Tibbett has the best voice. We can brown him up.

And the idea may have been, this is the best singer I know of. This is a singer who will be most palatable across the whole United States. You have to think about the South.
