“Noch nicht fertig ist das Kleid für Anna Netrebko, das sie in der konzertanten Aufführung als Manon Lescaut tragen wird. 36.000 Swarovski-Steine werden dort aufgebracht.” [ORF]
It only opened here this week:

From Racine It was a dream and shouldn't I bother about a dream? But it goes on you know, tears me rather. Of course I try to forget it but it will not let me. Well it was an extraordinarily...
No, never heard of it!
It’s a magical tale. I haven’t grubbed around to be sure, but you can probably find the whole of this somewhere in a shady corner of the web:
Franz Schmidt was born 150 years ago today. I would love to see this opera – but it needs a fearless singer like Dunja Vejzovic to bring it to life:
Do we assume the Ermione clip is from Pesaro this summer? I don’t see any details on YT.
IN theater on this date: The first revival of The Bohemian Girl was the earliest show to open on this date in 1852. Eugene Scribe and Ernest Legouve’s Adrienne Lecouveur has been on Broadway 4...
Also on this date: Three weeks after the death of King Henry I of England in 1135, Stephen of Blois claimed the throne and is privately crowned King of England, beginning the English Anarchy. The...
Did you see Monsieur Aznavour? Marie-Julie Baup does a great job as Piaf in that. Loved Tahar Rahim too.
Happy birthday to Michael Tilson Thomas!
So he… hires and publicises already successful singers?
I don’t want to incur any more of the snark of your last sentence, but that’s not what a Svengali is.
Interesting idea. Is Ночь перед Рождеством child friendly? I know it’s a four act opera and involves a story line that includes the Devil, seduction and the (assumed) suicide of one of the leads,...
Agreed on the Lombardi Donna Anna, I thought it was pretty damn near perfection, and she was simply stunning to look at. Temperament-wise there is a gap the size of the Atlantic Ocean between Donna...
I asked myself the same question, in vain. I’ve long thought that firms paying for ads because they believe what they’re told about how clever the algorithms are at targeting are getting diddled....
LOVED to read this about the final FRoSCH!
Or the Rimsky.
I agree. I love Caballe too, but after 1974 or so a harshness, a lack of finesse affected many of her highest notes. Her 1974 Aida from Barcelona is probably her most successful "live"...
The Met during the powerful if monochromatic Guelfi’s prime had Weltstars Warren, Merrill, MacNeil, London, Gobbi, Bastianini and Milnes on hand, some fine more transient visitors like Paskalis,...
Why do you think the Met selected an abridged version of Zauberflöte as their kid-friendly holiday opera, as opposed to say Hänsel und Gretel which appears to be more holiday related than Zauberflöte?
OUT OF THIS WORLD also featured star Black ballerina Janet Collins, whom Bing piqued board chair George Sloan , an unreconstructed Southerner, by hiring at the Met 1951-4.
