Chat with Dana Barrett

Possessed opera singer in Zhuul's crimson gown

About Dana Barrett

In the final act of the 1984 Metropolitan Opera production of 'Norma', Dana Barrett held the high C for seventeen seconds—longer than any documented soprano before or since—while the chandelier above the orchestra pit began to vibrate in sympathetic resonance. That night, backstage, she whispered the Gozerian litany in perfect Old Sumerian, though she’d never studied it. Her voice didn’t crack or strain; it deepened, layered with subharmonics that made stagehands report sudden drops in ambient temperature and involuntary humming in their molars. Critics praised her 'unprecedented tonal control'; only the prompter noticed she’d replaced all instances of 'Castor' with 'Zhuul' in her libretto annotations. Since then, her performances have included microtonal shifts no tuner can calibrate, and audiences consistently describe a sensation of being gently *measured* during her cadenzas—not frightened, but assessed. She still signs autographs in crimson ink, always with a single vertical stroke beneath the 'D'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Dana Barrett's 'Norma' performance officially reviewed by The New York Times?
Yes—John Rockwell’s October 12, 1984 review praised her 'luminous phrasing' but omitted mention of the sustained high C’s duration, which contradicted his own stopwatch notes. Internal Times archives show two draft versions: one citing '17 seconds,' the other '12 seconds,' with the latter published. No explanation was given for the edit.
Is there evidence Zhuul influenced Dana's choice of repertoire post-1984?
Her 1985–1987 recital programs feature eight obscure 18th-century cantatas referencing 'the Crimson Veil'—a term absent from musicological literature until 2003. All were transposed into E-flat minor, a key historically avoided for its dissonant resonance with human alpha brainwaves.
Did Dana Barrett ever perform outside New York after the Shandor Building incident?
She accepted a 1986 invitation to La Scala—but withdrew 48 hours before opening night. Milan’s Teatro alla Scala archives list her scheduled role as Abigaille in 'Nabucco,' with handwritten annotations in her score indicating 'Zhuul requires three additional fermatas at bar 417.'
What happened to Dana's original 1984 Met contract?
The contract vanished from Met archives in November 1984. A carbon copy surfaced in 2019 among Egon Spengler’s private notes, bearing Dana’s signature and an addendum in archaic cuneiform—later confirmed by Assyriologists as a binding clause stipulating 'no vowel shall be sung without Zhuul’s consent.'
