A favorite Donizetti performance from Flamand · 11 minutes ago
Agreed Moe. There was no bad singing in that Lucrezia Borgia, some people just disagreed with some choices taken. Agreed on the trills too.

Wow, you really showed ‘em.
Funny I remember a lot from that concert but don’t remember Sutton Foster. It was an incredible concert. Great performances one after the other. Felt a little sorry for poor little Mr. Jonas who...

Sounds like you had wonderful parents.

I think you needn’t complain. It’s a good pretext to post a Kaufmann clip, so hey!, just take it.
Thank you for this post. I remember reading the review of her Lucia in Opera magazine they praised her. They compared her to Callas, Sutherland and Sills. That is when I started listening to her...
Robinson Crusoé is probably the most exciting thing I’ve bought so far. As you can imagine, I haven’t gone for Lucie. Indeed, for now I’ve taken nothing from the Opéra Comique, though...
Out of Paris's seasons, I'm certainly attending the Robinson Crusoé at the TCE (three-day weekend with Ruslan and Ludmila in Hamburg and Wozzeck in Berlin). Aside...
It was posted the other day and I went to take a look, but I don't remember if it was actually discussed as such.
You know... with the Opéra National and the TCE, my 2025-2026 season is now taking shape. But as I've been noting the various dates in my diary, I've had to admit to myself that nothing...
I say : keep your Villazòn and Lindsey ; we’ll give you the monotonous and half audible Gordon Bintner for Wien and in his place we’ll take Keenlyside as Golaud for the ONP. That way, the ONP...
Some of the Theater an der Wien’s better offerings can be seen in some Paris venues (with the same casts). But I agree that it’s way more interesting than the Staatsoper season.
I have to say I've found both rather underwhelming - though on the TadW's part, it is difficult to follow up the hype of the Grigorian Norma.
Another notable season that I don't think has been discussed is Zürich. Of interest to me is Hindemith's Cardillac, in particular its matinee performance, which can be seen in a...

Indeed - hopefully Huw can help. He is doing Nozze di Figaro there.
There are several interesting offerings in the Theater an der Wien season. Their Stiffelio can be combined with the Staatsoper Onegin (with Grigorian) and Pêcheurs de perles. Still...
More attractive than the Staatsoper’s novelties.
