    I have heard, though it might be the unmedicated voices in my head, say that AG will be singing Puritani in a full body cast with merely her head mobile. She will be laying on her back, on a dolly atop a raked stage, so that she will roll toward the prompter’s box, but having missed it will perch with said head dangling into the tube whilst she trills beguilingly the Son Vergin Vezzosa. Unfortunately, it will be the Agatha Christie translation, so during the course of the opera, various cast members will disappear, leaving only director Mary Zimmerman standing on stage.
