    Any guesses as to whether JDF will encore “A Mes Amis” tonight? Or any other night? I expect the audience will applaud and applaud hoping for the encore.

    Gelb was quoted in yesterday’s Times as saying that the Met has no official policy regarding encores, which may be a hint as to what will happen tonight. Or perhaps not. I had always understood that the Met did have a policy of no encores going back to the 1920′s or so. And at least during the Bing years and for a time afterwards, contracts required singers not to step out of character during the performance to accept applause. Of course, it wasn’t always strictly followed. Caballe, Freni and Pavarotti come to mind as at least gesturing in appreciation. On the other hand, I seem to recall Franco Tagliavini’s contract being terminated after he acknowledged applause after “E Lucevan”. Or at least that was the excuse.

    Can it be that our hostess is tired of us spouting off unfilteretted? Is her subtleness trying to get us to think before pressing ‘send’? To consider before we grumble, mutter or screech, depending on the time of day and the mood of the verb machine?

    I should think about it but I’m sending anyway.
