This time out she's taking the bows

So, according to the list of musical numbers in the Met’s new pastiche The Enchanted Island, guess who gets the showstopping “11 o’clock” spot? Why, none other than The Booty of the Baroque herself, Danielle DeNiese, who will (no doubt) set the rafters ringing with “Can you feel the heavens are reeling,” an adaptation of “Agitata da due venti” from Vivaldi’s Griselda, RV 718, Act II, scene 2. (In its original Italian version, especially as performed by Cecilia Bartoli, this piece is familarly known as the “I shouldn’t have had that second Starbucks” aria.)
