Brace yourselves
Our operatic riddle of the day: what is due to be seen in New York in September, assuming the enormous weight doesn’t rupture another disc?

‘And Terfel has his detractors, though his Scarpia has shut them up for now.’
Scarpia is NOT Wotan.
In response to #22 – Betsy you are quite right about doing the Ring without the right voices but in none of the previous posts on this thread had I seen much about the voices or casting – only about how the production was going to create problems. That is what I was referring to.
Oh good, willym, you’re back.
On this thread, maybe so, but a bunch of parterrians have been beating their plowshares into tuning forks ever since the casting was first announced.
Betsy, I’m heading up to Milan on the 13th – or at least hope I am – to catch the opening of the new Ring cycle there. Barenboim conducting – meh… – Pape as Wotan which should be interesting and Belgian director Guy Cassiers staging – again could be interesting particularly after the bizarre Tannhauser there last month which I reviewed for Opera Britannia.
