Et je sais votre nom

by | 6:05 pm | Apr 18, 2006

Which diva is more than a little miffed at Met management at the moment? It seems that a major cast change in her opera was a done deal — even posted on metopera.org — while she waited for a frank — or for any — word from those in charge.

    Farina isn’t a happy replacement for anybody.

    la cieca said she and diva … and it didn’t seem ironic … is it a guleghina thing?

    I don’t know who the replacement is or what it might be for, but I think the diva is Renee Fleming. “Et je sais votre nom” is a line from Act I of Manon, which Fleming just sang.

    It has to be Franco Farina. He has replaced Giordani for the run of Tosca. I was hoping to go, as it will be the last parade of Zeffirelli’s production, but I will seriously have to think about it now…. 8-(

    Padre augusto, conosco il nome dello straniero!

    Et je sais votre nom in Italian could be from Turandot… And Turandot is scheduled for next season with Diva Sunnegardh, isn’t it?

    I still think it’s Fleming in reference to Manon earlier this month. Marcelo Alvarez was listed as Des Grieux in the season brochure, not Massimo Giordano who actually sang — so that’s the casting change.

    Is Netrebko as upset as I am that Sir Riccardo in her Puritanis next year will be Mr. Croft (yawn) rather than Mr. Kwiecien (deep, manly sigh)?

    who proudly claims the title of leading Kwiecien fan west of the Oder-Neisse

    Hans Lick has to add Il Tenore di Grazia to the Kwiecien fan list. I saw him for the first time Friday evening in the last Don Pasquale of the season and much enjoyed his performance. Would love to see him as Don Giovanni.
