Always front and center with a vote of confidence, Peter Gelb told the New York Times, “Natalie is one of the great artists, but she also is somewhat fragile.”
A surprisingly generous review considering the shitshow I heard last night.

Perdonami, egregia e grande La grunowa, MAH! I can’t let this slide as it is NEITHER, but an A4 natural. Please don’t flog me in punishment, but you simply MUST be in possession of the FACTS as...
That équipe will conduct him, so, no problem here.
Yeah, I think that for all its virtues it’s surpassed by Giulini, Bohm 2, Davis 1, Solti and (these may be more personal, and undoubtedly mark me down as a Gen Xer) Muti, Marriner and Ostman.

She recently did a Fledermaus in Amsterdam under the stagedirection of Kosky.
Not at all. Rosalinde is a sort of Koleratur-role; Willis Sorensen sang the best Cardas I ever heard (Dresden 2018); she is Mozert-trained and has a flexible technique; ANs voice is much too deep...
I agree.
Camille and all others griping about Gelb. As I have said before, the scheduling of operas each recent season at the Met seems to be askew. We have 16 to 18 different operas each season and now...
YNS will not be conducting New Year's eve at the Met later this year......
