  Didn't she only work at the Met for two or three years? Of course she would need a work permit, but that's not impossible with the support of a $300 million arts institution's hiring...

  It's on youtube. It's been ages since I saw the film. I'd forgotten that they go to the opera.
  Now where are we? I suppose she's meant to be going mad. Where's...

  " she can be considered Anglo-American."

  I feel as though I have to try very, very hard to focus on the things Dessay brings (or brought) to the dance. Which were many, by many accounts. She had a great physique de rôle for the parts she...

  Different strokes for different folks of course but I actually really love Mazzoli's work and find specifically her orchestration to be incredible, powerful, and musical, in this piece and in...

  In order to work for an extended period of time in the US, she needed a (hard to get) long term work permit, or a green card, which would make her an American resident. So yes, she can be...

  I'm with you on less Puccini, but I am not enough of a bel canto fan to go the rest of the way. Certain works, yes, but there are a lot of things from other times/places that I would like to hear...

  Thanks for this detailed review - I haven’t seen this, but having endured one and a half operas, and two orchestral pieces (including the ugliest violin concerto on the planet), she is known as...

  The ice cream thing is intriguing. They sit outside at a café by the harbour. But if Flaubert himself saw the Rouen premiere in 1839, it would have been at the end of December.

  I was never a fan of Peretyatko I thought she was a poor mans Soprano very second rate. Saw her Lucia and Puritani did not like either.
