village voice
“As the East Village gentrifed over the past decade, gone are the punk-rock club, the dive bar, the crack den . . . the opera house.” Our Own JJ marks the finale of Amato Opera. [NYP]

Nice, touching article. Bravo, JJ!
I am starting to consider going to Santa Fe for Alceste, but I am worried about the soprano. Will she show up? Will she learn the long and arduous role? I have been listening to a live performance with Verrett and I like the opera – very majestic and stirring.
Not wanting to imitate the Vicar, but Dame Janet’s live ROH recording, despite the odd transposition, is hors concours.
