  You sure do! The celery in question is the root and the sauce is redolent of Dijon mustard.

  I was also at that memorable PIRATA that Steven led! A very fond memory. WCO is a great legacy to claim--for both of you!

  My goodness, I do not recognize her. She sounds nothing like this, which is what I remember of her.

  I’ll be attending both of those too. If you want a casual meal or snack right near the Bastille, try this place for salads and fresh juice:

  I am so envious that you heard/saw Hotter as Schigolch. I did see him in GURRELIEDER (twice: 1983 and 1981) and as Moses in MOSES UND ARON (1971), but these were concert performances. I would have...

  Thank you, Peter, for this article and, of course, for your part in creating Washington Concert Opera. To pick one example that fits with this month's theme, I still have not been able to see...

  You didn’t ask me, but I would suggest Le temps des Cerises, a 5-10min. walk from the Bastille. It’s open at least till midnight. It’s good and reasonable prices.

  It depends on the time. If possible, I like La Grande Brasserie, just opposite Bofinger on rue de la Bastille. But they only take reservations up to 11, I think. Bofinger itself is open till...

  You were here? They weren't really bassos. Nobody is, these days, I sometimes think. I wouldn’t say Young is ‘superb.’ If you’re going to go for a ‘symphonic’ Don Carlos, you’ll get a...

  wonderful review, Nigel. I was there a few nights before you. We have some differing opinions but agree 100% on Ms Rebeka. She doesn’t have the typical Verdi spinto voice, but with her solid...
