Teneste la chat
The Traviata chat will begin at 12:45 beginning in preparation for the 1:00 start time of tonight’s performance.
Listeners should note that this afternoon’s broadcast will include the following intermission features: during the first interval, Loren Toolajian will interview Angela Gheorghiu, James Valenti and Thomas Hampson.
During the second intermission, quiz contestants will include Fred Plotkin, Robert Marx and Cage Ames. The moderator will be Keith Miller, in whose honor the panel will perform a trio version of a song from The Creation: “With spandex clad the bass appears.”
The real-time chat, as always, is at La Casa della Cieca.
Hate this living in the past but—
somewhere on you tube is
Stratas and Quilico -who get
to the heart of Traviata as no one
else has -it is a Canadian TV bit.
Worth all the huffing and puffing going on now at the Met under the
umbrella of fine singing .
Many thanks to iltenoredigrazia @69 for raising rumor out of the gutter and into the realm of divine fantasy.
