  I think it's a combination of availability (since the Met competes with so many other houses) and repertory; there really isn't anything for Elza to do next year, except Donna Anna;...

  By chance and home from college for Xmas break I saw MARTHA at the Met (Konya, Fenn, Elias, Tozzi.) That season (1967/1968) was the last time it was given at the Met. Caruso outstanding in the...

  Sounds a bit scrappy for so deep into the run. I bet it’s fun in person.

  I thought that The Visit at Williamstown was an arch and pretentious mess, which seems to be their house style. But that scene of Chita dancing with herself as a young woman (oh, wait, should have...

  Yes the Met performed this charming opera hundreds of times for many years. Then they just dropped it. Same with Mignon. Bring them back!

  While not a fan, for me the voice makes no impact from the lower middle down, I agree that her Empress in Frau was superb.

  I actually prefer the office regie Roberto Devereux over this one when it comes to EG's assumption of the title role. She is somehow more effective in it IMHO. But this one is fine too.

  Marvelously entertaining article. But why oh why is Elza not appearing at the Met next season? The Met seems to be doing this nowadays. They create an audience for a star, and then there is a lapse...
