About This Song
About "The Bear (An Extravaganza in One Act): I was a constant, faithful wife (Popova)" by Della Jones
From Walton’s one-act extravaganza, Popova’s confession 'I was a constant, faithful wife' is a wry, wounded aria. Della Jones balances widow’s weeds with a twinkle of self-aware comedy—grief and irony waltzing in a drawing room.
