Night Peggy and I attended this opera. Beautiful music. I had not
seen it before. Heard it on the radio from the Met. It's part of our
season tickets to the Lyric. What was sad is two Great Sopranos Renee
Fleming and Sofie Von Otter were stars of this. This quality of singing
should have filled the house to overflow. It didn't. We have Ms Von
Otter's Cds at home. She's a great talent (mezzo). I guess I am out of
the loop on this. It should have been a barn burner. Opera is funny
stuff.. but to those of us who love it.. it's rewarding, in spite of the
fact that I was coughing into my large handkerchief often during the
performance.
Renee
Fleming has taken her time bringing one of her most celebrated operatic
roles, Countess Madeleine in Richard Strauss' "Capriccio," to the
company for which she serves as creative consultant.
