Math is hard
Here’s our dear Karita Mattila (left), currently occupied playing Émilie du Châtelet in the eponymous new opera by Kaija Saariaho.

pernille; With that pregnant corset ‘prop’ correctly designed when strapped on, Mattila could be in fact getting extra physical ‘vocal support’ by wearing it in that Saariaho opera. It reminds and sounds to me a bit like that opera by Guiseppe Sinopoli “Lou Salome’ another opera about a woman of varied interests.. That is on my shelves somewhere. I think I have played it just once.
