treat!
Un petit oiseau (dans la charmille) has just whispered to La Cieca that mythic diva Madame Vera Galupe-Borszkh will emerge briefly from semi-retirement on Halloween night as a surprise guest during the Sirius broadcast of La traviata from the Met. To avoid any confusion, La Cieca should note that “La Dementia” will not be singing the role of Violetta that evening (Anja Harteros will perform as usual), but the Ukrainian Nightingale will grace the broadcast booth for an interview with Margaret Juntwait. The yakking will begin at approximately 10:00 pm EDT during the second intermission of the Verdi tearjerker.
No, Madame Vera is covering Violetta
I think Licia Albanese is the 2nd cover
flannigan, who cares.
Prunier: Flanigan is likely covering Foreign Princess in Rusalka.
Thanks for the info.
