Tears in Heaven
You may recall, cher public, that last December La Cieca had some rather unhappy holiday tidings for a pair of Met sopranos. Well, it looks like history is repeating itself. La Cieca hears that two Met sopranos, both in the same Fach (though a different Fach from the two divas discussed in the December item), are to be bought out of all their forthcoming Met contracts. Expect much weeping in Aremberg when this news is made public.
She looks like there’s a blockage!
Radvanovsky was bought out of the Manon Lescaut awhile back, it was originally planned for her about 18 months ago. (when she was doing Vespri at the Met) than Matilla made a big splash in Chicago etc.
