Has anyone seen any discount codes for the Met's Aida? I kind of doubt there would be any at this point, but you never know.
Marlene asks the question of any age, "Where have all the flowers gone?" Cheers everyone. Hugs & High notes, TildyDiva.
Today in 1961 Subways are for Sleeping opened up on Broadway Phyllis Newman, one best supporting actress that year.
“Maybe we need another documentary.”
Um, no. I hope this ‘Maria’ film represents the final nail in the coffin for biopics or fantasies on her. It has to end sometime and the time is now.
She did 3 Elviras, then went back to Walkira in Palermo on January 28, 1949. IN February she did another Walkira, then Turandot in Naples and her first Parsifal in Rome. I mean...WOW!!!!
Wikipedia says Elvira was born on the 28th. So does the Discography of American Historical Recordings. And according to Wikiipedia, Schipa was born on January 2nd.
I loved what Millo had to say. I have not watched the movie and I am a great Callas fan. I have seen clips that are so awful I just can’t watch it. Maybe we need another documentary. I liked the...
I think that may be part of it for me. I’m not really familiar with Callas (I know, I know…) but it made me interested in learning more about her.
I thought it was neither here nor there honestly. I admired Jolie's work up to a point and was happy that it wasn't generic oscar-bait showboating. But I didn't really see a...
I've been watching it in 10 minute installments and debating whether or not to continue. Reading these opinions, I am starting to think that I have already gotten all I will get out of it....
Fascinating TV show from Rome, 1958, featuring a sort of operatic "What's My Line?" with Toti dal Monte in a Dorothy Kilgallen-style mask. An almost 70 year-old Tito Schipa appears...
Thank you for posting this interview. I’m impressed and moved by Angel Blue’s way of balancing a popular way of speaking with thoughtful commentary about her voice and why the art form is...
With only one more opera this year (Salome), it's time to look forward to next year. The most fun event will be seeing this lady back on stage. Only one performance has been announced for...
A brilliant Gluck moment occurs in Ezio. Between all the arias comes this fierce trio. One of my favorite Gluck moments. Out of the three recordings I know I like Stoehr (No. 1) best:
I always love singers doing a blind test. Konstantin Krimmel gets a lot of recordings right straight away
The Lyric Opera of Chicago has shared the Civic Opera House (now renamed the Lyric Opera House) with the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago since the 2021-22 season. The Joffrey Ballet's marathon run...
Yup. Callas only ever sang Cio Cio San at LOC and Bing would hardly have needed her in the role when he had Tebaldi, Albanese, de los Angeles, Stella and Kirsten around.
Me too. Love it, no, but I’ve been recommending it to a lot of opera-curious friends and they’ve enjoyed it. This movie was made for the masses (-ish), not true lovers of the artist. If it brings...
And it is/was very rare to hear an Italian soprano at the Met singing a German language role in German.
Thank you for mentioning her Pamina. I had always wanted to hear her in the part.
