a kirov production and the beginning of my love affair with gergiev. even though i thought he did the valkyries all wrong - vegas showgirls much?in any case, we just made plans to check out the barber of seville on 10/24! joyce didonato in a bartlet sher production - who has been on fire. he won the tony last year for his revival of south pacific and his last production, joe turner's come and gone, was on broadway this summer, nominated for a bunch of tonys, as well as being chosen for a presidental date night.
i just noticed - the met has changed its web address from www.metopera.org to www.metoperafamily.org. does anybody else find this cute?
i really enjoy opera too. for a short period of time (two years), my mom had season tickets when i was younger, so we saw a few then, some good, some weird. i haven't seen as many as i'd have liked. i saw turandot for the first time a few years ago, and who can resist nessun dorma?? im dying to see la traviata and tosca though. excited to see your blog thoughts!
