The future Mrs. Yusif Eyvazov sings Il trovatore in 2015.
Legend has it that La Grunowa clung to the side curtains and convulsed as the lights went out.
William Christie is spending his evening conducting Les Fêtes d’Hébé at the Opéra Comique. I noticed it started an hour earlier than the other performances, and heard there’s a dress code,...
RIGHT? you want a dramatic end to the Judgement Scene? Look no further than Mamma Cossotto starting at 8:42. This woman is CLEARLY the patron saint of every single Mexican telenovela villainess! 😂😂...
In my experience, she was overparted in the judgement scene. She sounds a lot better on this recording than I remember in the theater.
Dunn was indeed towering in that part when I heard her, with Molnar-Talajic, McCracken, Quilico and Hines.
That was the...um...unfortunate Ponnelle production. I saw it, too.
I have to agree about Maria. Angelina Jolie is very good (and Paris has never looked better) but I can't say very much for the film. It seems to have said all it has to say in the first...
Or her earthbound Eboli.
i still think of that movie from time to time - maybe it's time for a rewatch!
I think I would have liked a Q&A more than the film. itself. I did like it, but I am somehow unsatisfied by it.

Freischütz is a very hard piece to do well and I don't think it does very well off of its native soil (I've seen in in New York, in Prague and in Berlin). One of the things that was so. worked so...
I listened on radio France and also found much to admire in most of the singing, including Ms Netrebko (who is instantly recognisable). I found Mr Jagde to be the weakest.
I’d like to see it.
I can’t believe it. Adults have such weird ideas about children, as if they forget what it was like.
Not everyone.
Bon anniversaire Edith Piaf !!!! I am sure everyone has seen the film La Vie en Rose. Here is an incredible scene from that movie. Marion Cotillard was just incredible in the film. Just click Watch...
Horne is surprisingly successful and obviously goes down well with the crowd. I was sure she'd be audibly over parted in the judgement scene but she was actually on top of it, although clearly...
