From the Vienna State Opera in January 1988, the first part of the Rossini opera you, cher public, chose: Il viaggio a Reims. Among the all-star cast in this episode of Unnatural Acts of Opera:
Cecilia Gasdia, Lucia Valentini-Terrani, Lella Cuberli, Montserrat Caballe, Frank Lopardo, Chris Merritt, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Ruggero Raimondi, Enzo Dara and Lucio Gallo, with Claudio Abbado conducting.
La Cieca, have you seen this brilliant blog? No, it’s not mine, but the criticism there is spot on!!
Here’s a post about Caballe, another about Katherine Jenkins and Darcy Bussell and a brilliant review of some tenor from somewhere in South America.
I hope you’ll add this blog to the list on your site because Katherine Jenkins needs more exposure. I’m sure Kiri would agree!
Hi Sofine,
I’m sure you’ll find on this blog plenty of us opera snobs who will seriously curse the day when dear Kath makes her ROH debut where she will outdo all of Maria Callas’s accomplishments (next season? Really?) While I’m not shy of linking my own blog to these comment pages, I think you’re targeting the wrong crowd to put it in a nice way.
By the way, the code for linking URLs is: a href=”www…”
Hmm, the HTML coding seems to be working strangely, let me try again: Blog
Guess its a technical error, apologies to Sofine and for unintentionally spamming this thread
While I’m not shy of linking my own blog to these comment pages, I think you’re targeting the wrong crowd to put it in a nice way.
If you actually read the blog, you’ll see that it’s quite tongue-in-cheek.
Since the links weren’t working for whatever reason, I thought I’d repost. I have no idea whose blog this is. It is not mine, but it is funny.
