    This is terrifying. I’m going back on the streets where it’s safe.

    Hojotoho! The gala was organised by operaphile Tadatsugu Sasaki to celebrate his 70th birthday. 4 performances of the gala were given, all open o the public. 2 of the performances at the Bunka Kaikan had the Ride of the Valkyries. The other 2 at the Suntory Hall featured a different programme. Besides the above soloits, Kollo, Wiekl and Burchuladze also sang. Pity Behrens could not make it. The highlights were Baltsa as Eboli/Santuzza/Orlofsky and singing To frego fevgi stis okto and Marton in the monolog from Elektra. The performances were a riot and all in the autograph queue at the Bunka Kaikan were well pleased.

    Well, if he has a stomach virus, he can’t exactly sit through 2 1/2 hours of Rheingold pooping all over himself, can he? I’m sure there is an orchestra union regulation about such things.

    That doesn’t seem to stop 3/4 of the Met audience, who could very well be Depends spokespeople…
