Dark lord
La Cieca had never really considered before the possibility that Peter Gelb was a Harry Potter villain, but this image from Channel 13′s Sunday Arts certainly does make one wonder.

Hahaha very funny – at least Guleghina still has a voice – a great one and is still hired everywhere. If Susie Carr can teach me how to SING like Guleghina – bring it on!

Any one know what happened to Mr. Costello…?… he was a no-show……
General Director Gelb has absolutely — NO STAGE PRESENCE, WHATSOEVER…..!
ANYONE knew that…Luca is…Thomas Hampson’s..SON-IN LAW…?!?!?
BOTH Anna and Debbie look fucking FANTASTIC….!
Angela Meade was charming, in her interview with Naomi Lewin … but I was underwhelmed by her sung excerpt from “Anna Bolena”
