Julietta WOULD be a good opera for NYCO to do.
How could they make it sell?
Make William Burden get naked on stage. And would the baritone role suit (or unsuit) Teddy Tahu Rhodes?
Julietta has only two leading roles, the title role (lyric soprano; should be glamourous enough to be a worthy object of every (straight) man’s dream) and Michel (lyric tenor–that’s Burden’s role). It has tons of one-off character parts, though–in the recent London performance that came up in this thread, there was a lot of doubling of those parts. Nothing really large enough for Teddy Tahu Rhodes, I’m afraid.
