That is , of course correct about the sound of the German “S”..but Maggie..as only she can..seemed to over -emphasis the sound , in an annoying manner..as she did, last season, in “S-(Z)-alome”..lol!
As I’ve said before, Margaret has ruined ‘Lohengreen’ for me, and forever sullied the name of Marco Armilliaaatoh.
Well, when we’re down to critiquing the degree of Z in her name-pronunciations, I guess La Juntwait is doing pretty well. I wonder how many would do better in that job? An overpowering opera expert cum public intellectual is not what is called for, when the art and the company are trying to be unthreatening to new audiences. What is?
But Juntwait comes over as somehow both patronising and not quite in charge of the information at hand. She’s pretty tooth-grating in my book.
Well, how a signal “comes over” is dependent not only on the transmitter but on the receiver as well. She doesn’t reach me in the way you describe.
She is not, for me, the ideal type for the job; but then I am not the audience that the fucking genius in charge envisages, either.
