Opera from a certain point of view. The best opera magazine on the web. Reviews, breaking news, critical essays, and brainrot commentary on opera from those demented enough to love it.
Inspired by Christian’s expansive Seiji Ozawasurvey, Chris’s Cache serves up the late maestro collaborating with (in alphabetical order): Martina Arroyo, Hildegard Behrens, Montserrat Caballé, Maureen Forrester, Jessye Norman, and Leontyne Price.
My sole live encounter with Seiji Ozawa coincided with his final appearances at the Metropolitan Opera, where he conducted its 2008 revival of Tchaikovsky’sPikovaya Dama.
