  I heard Romain Dayez in Haydn's IL MONDO DELLA LUNA in Metz 2 years ago. A certified and very out barihunk.

  La Voix humaine with organ (how weird) and the lovely Anne-Catherine Gillet. Her Micaela last season was great, so I will give it a go. But what is next? Der Hirt auf dem Felsen with trombone?

  Yep, 116 MARTHA shows (in Italian and then English) and 110 MIGNON (in Italian and then French) shows. More than ERNANI, WERTHER or ARIADNE!

  I saw this in the house this evening. It was not flawless, but it was great fun and - as always - the vocal problems we hear in the streams were not as pronounced. Milling is no longer the singer I...

  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...
