Sometimes the cabin’s gloomy and the table’s bare

“Wall to Wall Opera,” a 13 hour orgy of things operatic, inhabits Symphony Space beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Among the festivities is a master class in bel canto interpretation by Renata Scotto, but the moment La Cieca most eagerly awaits will arrive courtesy of Encompass Opera Theatre. We are promised a performance of “The Silver Aria” from the haunting opera by John LaTouche and Douglas Moore, The Ballad of Baby Joe.

    Will it be sung by Sylvia Bills?

  • Baritenor says:

    Why is the silver aria, whole a beautiful peice, of course, the highlight of the evening La Cieca over your own personal diva’s masterclass?

    Whatever happened to Baby Joe?

    I am on the verge of a heart attack!!
    Almost all of the Mariella Devia videos have been suspended on YouTube because YouTube has suspended the account of the individual who posted so many of them: Loganfacincy26. I am short of breath and think I am going to faint! What are we to do!?!?! Someone HELP!!!

    Youtube also dropped the video of the recording of Caruso singing “Over There” from 1918. I am still wondering what the legal problems were with that one.

  • J says:

    Did anyone go to La Scotto’s masterclass?

  • Donna Anna says:

    Hmmm..YouTube has removed a lot of videos, not just those of Loganfacincy26′s. Late spring cleaning?
