another thrilling twist
… in the “Tenor-Go-Round” saga at the Metropolitan Opera. (La Cieca was going to say “Musical Tenors,” on the model of “Musical Chairs, but decides not to on the ground it’s an oxymoron. Anyway.)
So now, according to a photo from metopera.org, it appears that Edgardo will be sung tomorrow by…
… Neil Shicoff.

No way. NO WAY!!
Dont’ worry. He’s joking. It still says Piotr Beczala.
I for one would be thrilled.
I — the ONLY one — would be thrilled.
Hint: look at the fellow at the right of the photo.
La Cieca! LOLOLOL…
‘Musical Tenors’ an oxymoron! hahahah.
Bitchy but, élas, often true and Very VEry funny!
Thank you!
PS: Does that man KNOW he is Neil Schicoff stand-in look-alike? He might be upset to find out…
Elvis Presley will come back from the dead and sing the Donizetti in his unmistakable Love me Tender style, the AP just reported. And instead of the Netrebko ghost walking on stage at the end, Callas’ real ghost will appear, Edgardo will die and she’ll then reprise the mad scene, this time in Italian.
The glass harmonica will be played by US Airways pilot Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III.
Can you imagine the curtain calls? THAT’S a night at the opera.
I must admit that I didn’t read the posted item very carefully but just posted my reaction to the notion of Schicoff as Edgardo. Heck, I even thought that the extra was Schicoff. It’s Friday, I’m tired and I refuse to be embarrassed. LOL
Looks like Nicholas Cage!
La Cieca, don’t even think that–Neil Shicoff–ahime, vomir mi sento! Please tell us you are joking!
That is just cruel..i was actually going to get up and see that, but now i will just sleep in. If only there were more tenors like schicoff around
crazy or not that man can sing.
