    Should still be good. Heard him as Leporello to d'A's Don.

    Schrott is a very unfortunate name for an opera singer. It means rubbish! How do names like that persist?

    I think he's Uruguayan, no idea what it means in Uruguayanese :) He was definitely the star. But it was a bitty production. In the shadow of La Forza.

    I couldn't watch it live (currently in the unboxing madness of house-moving), but looking forward to seeing it on catch-up. :)

    Stunning evening last night watching the live relay of La Forza del Destino from Covent Garden… I hope you were lucky enough to catch it, too, at your local cinema.. I love live events such as this. Anna Netrebko is in the same league as Callas.

    Also he has a history with her, from their Tosca, where she left him alone on stage, embarrassingly filling in time, before she chose to make her entrance. He must have done something that she thought justified it, though. She's a flake, but one with a good heart.

    I saw her Lady Macbeth last year, and she was very good in what is a very big role.

    Ha – how very diva! Didn’t know that! Spices up the publicity, that’s for sure. I’d say she’s at the peak of her career now. But the whole show was strong, including an excellent (and large) chorus, hence the rave reviews. For me, weakest was set design, but the 4 hrs+ passed so quickly there was very little time to pick it apart.

    My opera friend also didn't like the production, saying something about "unnecessary dancing getting in the way". That might be what other people thought was the good chorus work, though!

    So should a tag line specifically compare two existing works?
    AgentPete
    AgentPete
    If it's appropriate, yes. Sometimes authors. Sometimes a wider cultural way point.
