  While I like Buratto, I just don't hear any similarity with Caniglia. Buratto's voice does not have the size, freedom, or soaring expansiveness of Caniglia's, nor Caniglia's use...

  Grigorian really rubbed me the wrong way tbh - for all her intensity I don't think she really had any affinity for the role, musically and verbally. I've liked her in things but this was...

  Lanzillota more consistent this time. Of our 3 recent starters, Willis Sorensen is the most bel canto player and balances all aspects of the role well. Adalgisa youthful and touching. Nothing to...

  Right; I more or less agree with this assessment. Of the three, RWS is probably the most conventional Norma voice for an international house. I found Grigorian most interesting of the three along...

  Interesting as some of these issues are similar to critiques of Caniglia. Will have to give a listen.

  Before I played the clip, I honestly could not remember this Lucia production. I must have blocked it out. Yes, I'm one of the dinosaurs that didn't care for it. I do agree that the...

  Nadine Sierra has done some work in Germany, but you are right that she's easier to see in other placwes (in Spain, for instance). She's singing in a couple of performances of...

  The surprise was more that Willis-Sorensen seems to be variable based on Parterre reception and I thought her Met run in Trovatore was kind of alarming. I also think her voice in general seems to...

  Brian Mulligan as Jochanaan too, he's got to be about the best available for that role.

  The France Musique App is a real treasure trove - when searching for "Samedi soir a l'Opéra', I can listen to a lot of opera broadcasts from 2016 and before. I am currently listening...

  Just listened to most of the album. It is beautiful quite a voice and performer. I hope we see more of her at Met in other roles not just Mimi.

  Hilley was just on here a couple days ago literally doing a "yo Mama" at a poster that criticized his singing. I took him to task, then felt bad about it and wished him luck on his...

  I enjoyed this Lucia in the house but do wonder if it's really a one off type of production. Can't really imagine what a revival would be like.

  I never would have thought of comparing her to Herlitzius haha. She definitley was someone whose rep consisted largley of full lyric rep until semi-recently (her met debut was Norina). I lliked her...

  I thought so, too, although there were some wrong details that seemed like unforced errors. For example, I loved using the harp solo at the start of the second scene to depict the opioid taking...

  I’ve been listening to Eleonora Buratto’s new ‘Indomita’ recital and feelings are somewhat mixed. I’ve never heard her live, or spent a lot of time seeking her out on YouTube or anything, but the...

  Cracknell's concept was half-baked at best. Stone really put some thought into it, filled out the characters, and surprise surprise - it worked!

  Is that really a surprise? I thought it was always a slightly surprising role for the other 2 really - Grigoryan doesn't have any bel canto track record or known coloratura facility, Lombardi...
