Who’s on first (bass)?

Some sudden cast changes may be in store among the Met’s low-voiced singers. Is Dimitri Kavrakos about to jump into Padre Guardiano’s sandals, replacing Vitalij Kowaljow? And what about Philip Ens — he’s in town for Luisa Miller, but is he going to make a surprise appearance in Fidelio as well?

    When/where is Grendel happening. I swear it’s been 10 years since Elliot Goldenthall, Paul Plishka, et al sat behind me while Benjamin Bagley sang Beowulf in Old English and I’ve begun to think the forthcoming opera is a myth. I’ve heard rumors about it on the West Coast, but is it really happening here in NYC?

    Yes, it is going to be performed this summer as part of the Lincoln Center summer festival.
