Thank you La Cieca – I didn’t like to nag, well actually I love to nag however I know better than to do that with our doyenne, but I’ve been waiting with baited breath for the conclusion.
I wanted to hear the rest of the performance without the distraction of Hugo de Ana’s “concept” production. I saw the last performance and finally managed to get a post up about it a few weeks ago. http://willyorwonthe.blogspot.com/2008/11/desperate-housewife.html
I’m just wondering if anyone got a recording of the Genova Capuleti which I also saw that week. Ganassi and Devia were quite the team.
Again mille grazie for posting this – once its on my Ipod it will make work more enjoyable tomorrow.
Well, I knew Medea would end (and how) (and how!) because I’ve been watching a DVD of it with Montserrat Caballe of all people, performed at some rather spectacular Roman theater in Spain, but I was curious how Antonacci would handle things, especially with so contemptible a Glauce to bother with.
Willym – I’ll bet every sound Devia makes from now till her retirement will be something to treasure. Record it ALL.
… as for your moving, La Cieca dear, it can’t be easy selling a ruined palazzo on the Orfana Canal in the present mortgage climate, even with Giudecca views and an escape route to Dalmatia in the back yard. Perhaps Starbucks would be intrigued …
God help us that woman who sat behind me and coughed worse than Mimi in Act 3 must have attended every bloody performance. And I know there’s an Italian equivalent of Hall’s!
Happy Birthday Anniversary, Maria Callas. Would have been 84 if alive today.
Also, mezzo Irina Arkhipova is 82 today.
