    I can’t wait for tonight’s chat, which (I guess) is why I’m here so early.

    Did we let Maria Callas’s birthday go by unobserved?

    The Grammy nominations are out. Renee goes head-to-head against Juan Diego Florez in one category. It’ll be his bel canto CD against her verismo CD. Do we want to bet on who wins?

    • Sanford says:

      Renee is also on the YoYo Ma crossover album that’s been nominated. The interesting category to me was best Opera recording, since the only one that could even vaguely be described as a staple of the repertoire is Billy Budd.

    Thanks La Cieca. That should be a fun discussion.
    Are there any cast changes that anyone knows of?
    So far the MET website shows the entire ensemble intact.

  • Shit, Grey’s and Private practice ar on tonight. Oh hell, I’ll skip them. I’ll see you guys here…

    A word of caution: I tried to hook up with the real time chat and was assailed by several viruses on my computer. I’ll stick with the usual format. By the way, as one who waits for the second coming of Jussi how is Joseph doing? First comments are favorable.
