It is also worth reminding people that the profits of this 'tie-in' go to the Met, not to Ms Fleming. Well said, Armerjacquino.

I browsed through the BBC Music magazine yesterday, featuring La Renee on cover and interviewed inside, and, indeed, La Voce comes in that shipping trunk box and has that dog-collar which imitates the MET chandeliers. Oh, and they celebrate her new Strauss '4 Songs' recording with Herr Thieleman - although it's taken down a notch in the review section. Gundula still rules!

He somehow managed not to come visibly on the keyboard while describing Hvorostovsky's Boccanegra, but he did include this canard from the NY TIMES plabyook on this opera: "The plot to “Simon Boccanegra” is so full of shifting identities and inexplicable twists that a navigational chart is required to sail through its shoals without going down" Donal Henahan (of evil memory) used to go on about how incomprehensible the plot is and every TIMES review since has echoed this. I find nothing incomprehensible about BOCCANEGRA; it is no more difficult to summarize than many a 19th century opera. Why can't the TIMES leave BOCCANEGRA *alone*???
