More than a Kunstdiva
Parterre Contemporary Diva finalist Cecilia Bartoli has added another hat to already extensive headgear wardrobe: artistic director of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. Her first project: Handel’s Giulio Cesare in 2012. [Washington Post]
David Koch just topped Mayor Bloomberg in being the richest man in New York City. I thought since we were all talking about these people it might be of interest. In regards to Bartoli apparently Salzburg will take over some of the performances of the Pfingstfestspiele in the summer. Herself will sing Cleopatra of course.
That’s a pity. She would have made a dynamite Nireno.
Why doesn’t she just call herself a soprano these days? She’d get less flack and the rep she sings is pretty much all soprano stuff.
So that‘s who played Claudia in the Fura Dels Baus production of Le Grand Macabre.
Bloody clever I say! Wonder if she’s going to do Cleo …
Though to echo the Vicar -- “Masterson or Dawson could surely do a better job!” Ha!
