He is not for all tastes but Leonard Warren has always been my favorite Verdi baritone. I was rummaging around today and found this, quoted literally from the Met online archives at http://archives.metoperafamily.org/archives/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=BibSpeed/fullcit.w?xCID=184330 Begin...

I have much time on my hands these days since retiring before I was ready to do so. Making as much lemonade as I can from those lemons, I am spending my days reading, studying, singing, and enjoying other singers with much greater gifts than my modest talents. I have recently taken great...

Just taking a short break from SWTOR to proffer a short review of the Met broadcast of Lulu I saw today in the movie theater. Points: --Kentridge is a most brilliant artist to do this production... allusions to cabaret, Pabst's film Pandora's Box, jazz, Hannah Hoch's cut-up collages, stark pen...

Unfortunately I had to miss this performance yesterday afternoon to attend a birthday party (which was quite enjoyable) for a 1-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, combined with Halloween and Christmas, sort of a PumpkinTurkeyClaus affair. Tannhäuser was the first opera I saw live in New York...

Anyone Watch "Manon" Live from the Met in HD on Saturday With Netrebko and Beczala? Curious in what location you were in while watching. I was in Southwest Virginia USA. You? Regarding the production, I thought Netrebko's costumes (and the ladies' gowns in general) were fabulous! I have never...
