Verdi’s La Traviata opens the season and will run July 18 through August 25. Arguably Verdi’s most popular work, it returns to the Glimmerglass Opera stage after 20 years in a new production directed by Jonathan Miller

Yes, that’s right, the oft-retired Dr. Miller has been dragged kicking and screaming into the opera arena yet once more, much against his will. Or, as Angela Gheorghiu so charmingly put it, “Jonathan Miller? I barely know him. He just used my name to promote himself, that’s all.”

    I’ll probably go and see the big screen relay of Don Carlo. I don’t feel like shelling out top dollar to see what, as you say, is an underpowered cast. The only time I’ve seen DC at Covent Garden was when I was a kid and the cast contained Ricciarelli, Baltsa, Quilico, Ramey, Willard White…

    Ganassi will nail the Veil Song, of course. But I can’t get too excited about ‘O Don Fatale’.
