None of you remember Dusty Springfield. But she does.

This suggests what the young Karita Mattila might have been like as Patsy Stone, with styling by Rachel Zoe.
I was just logging in to say she looks like Pats, though with but little of her flair.
La Cieca:
I was soooo thinking Patsy when I saw the pics. Haven’t been able to watch the video, but I am wondering –
Does she ever disappear for a second and then reappear nervously wiping her nose because that would be funny, and perfectly in keeping with Patsyesque feel of her ensemble!
beautiful woman with gorgeous voice wasting her time with this schlock rather than learning how to sing. too bad.
Manou,
I saw Tosca. Catherine Naglestad is in top voice, way above Met’s Mattila. And I like the production. It seems that Alagna is in a better voice than he has ever been. Thanks for the posting.
It is a great look, when done right:

But it just looks ratty here – agreed. Maybe Roberta Alexander can fit her in in one of her upcoming dress, hair and make-up masterclasses.
Valene Ewing Lives!!!
In these straitened circumstances it is a wise move to share the wig with Mae West…oops, Mariana Colpos, in the trine morbide dell’alcova dorata.
Reminds me an awful lot of this J-Lo video, although the charms of the gentelman in Garanca’s are somehow less obvious:
I think Garanca sounds great but the whole thing looks like a glamorous lady trying ever so hard to be sexy. There seems to be some kind of barrier preventing her from actually being so.
You’re right cocky–this is nothing but a remake of a Jennifer Lopez video. I kind of lkie it though-its young and fresh. Do you think she’s giving Netrebko a run for her money?
Love the arrangement.
