Since we in New York are not going to hear Rolando Villazon until (at the earliest) April 8, La Cieca thought it would be interesting to share a recent document of his singing. Here’s a scene from Act 3 of Werther, as sung in Paris earlier this month.

    La Verite,

    Does your conscience ever bother you at night? Do you even HAVE a conscience?? Treating people as you do here will only poison your soul and eventually your happiness in life. Do unto others is still the golden rule. Would you like people to routinely speak to you as you do to us on this blog? It’s something to think about.

    Straniera, I would love to meet you if we could ever figure out who we are. And Certo, you seem to be a Mensch. Let’s all put our energies into better places and among better and more intelligent people.

    That’s right Fair Play, go hang out with more intelligent people. Perhaps something will rub off.
