Or not to be?

That popular and versatile artist TBA will enjoy a busy December at the Met alternating the roles of Mimi and Musetta in La boheme. La Cieca wonders if Cristina Gallardo-Domâs is “indisposed” with the same “health” “problems” that beset Susannah Glanville. Anyway, G-D is out of the rest of 2006, though she’s still on the schedule for the return of the production in late January. As for Ms. Glanville, it looks like this erstwhile Blanche DuBois may have to rely on the kindness of strangers once again, since all the influence a Friend could bring to bear didn’t get her past the dress rehearsal.

    armerjaquino I’m so glad to see your comment about Shirley Verrett. I think she was an amazing artist- not only vocally but acting wise. I’m really looking forward to reading her book.
