Well, I attended "R&J" this past Saturday, sans Rolando & Nathan. But I have to say I'm a little better disposed to Roberto Alagna than I was previously. He...
Patty, Thanks for the report. I hope you're enjoying your New York visit even if you have to miss your favorite opera singers. Autumn in New York is always...
By the way, how did you like Netrebko? She used to sing Russian roles out here a few years ago and I always liked her. She seems to have changed her repertoire...
Hi Patrick - I haven't had extensive experience of her performances but I like her very much. I've seen the Salzburg "Traviata" on DVD and saw "Rigoletto"...
Of those of you who watched the Ken Burns film "The War", who agrees with me that they should have used Nathan's recording of "American Anthem" as their theme?...
Found this on the John Pierce page from the links here. He found it here: http://www.huliq.com/33767/glyndebourne-festival-opera-preview Love and Other Demons...
Hi Patty, I have that Salzburg Traviata but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. There's a DVD of Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmilla in which Netrebko is a...
Thanks -- the co-commission from the BBC makes me hope this will be broadcast and end up on DVD. Quite a few of those Glyndebourne productions seem to, and...
Hmm... A trip to the English countryside and an excuse to wear a gown sound pretty good to me right about now! But I guess a DVD is more affordable... ... ...
Well, I have to admit I'd love to visit the English countryside, or the major cities of England, for that matter. It's the dressing up that I don't want to...
Well, April is still a long way away, so hopefully you will be able to come here for Nathan's recital. Keep us posted - it would be fun to meet up with you...
Hi Patty, Yes, I'll let you know if I manage to get back east -- as you say, April is still months away, so I'm hoping for the best. . . . Patrick P.S. For any...
I remember Nathan mentioning this opera in one of his journal entries, but I didn't know that the composer is Hungarian - very interesting. Good thing the...
Hi Elizabeth, I'm going to assume the libretto for Love etc. will not be in Hungarian; from a practical point of view, finding singers who can handle English...
Hi Patrick, Yes, I'd also assume that the libretto is in Spanish. It's amazing how singers can adapt to different languages, though. I once heard a recording...
Hi Elizabeth, And I'm flattered you remembered my birthday! Enjoy Iphigenie -- it's a wonderful opera. I'm glad everyone seems to be doing it now. Susan Graham...
Nathan sang memorably as Oreste to Bil Burden's Pylade (& Christine Goerke's Iphiginie) at Glimmerglass a few seasons back - it was a terrific performance! ......
I'm envious that you got to hear that performance! I've never been to Glimmerglass, though I keep contemplating it. I would have preferred it if Gunn had come...
Why thank you! How nice to be remembered! Sorry I didn't thank you sooner -- I was away for a couple of days and when I was here the plumbers (actually, it was...
Happy Belated Birthday Patrick. So are you the same Patrick listed as one of Nathan's friends on his MySpace page? :) ... and when ... digging up ... computer ...
Probably not -- I didn't even know he had a MySpace page, though I guess by now everyone does but me! I should go check it out. I do get regular Nathan Gunn...
... Don't you hate that? Some workers are tearing up the end of my cul de sac and last weekend while I was trying to sleep they hit something and the power...
I hope it's a great day for you and many more. . . . I just got back from the Magic Flute, that's why I'm up so late. To return this to Nathan news, there's a...
Thank you very much, Patrick! How was The Magic Flute? I went to see Iphigenia on Wednesday and I enjoyed it very much. The first two acts were a little slow...
Hi, I enjoyed the Magic Flute very much even though I wasn't feeling very good. I thought the Sarastro (Georg Zeppenfeld) was perhaps a bit lightweight and the...
Looks like Nathan's site is up and running again. There's a journal entry from August that mentions the CD release party with a link to pictures... the link is...
John, I thought I replied but it never showed up... it probably will once I re-reply... So, as far as the realtors go, no, probably not, unless he's selling ...
Nathan's going to be on TV again. This time it's the Colbert Report on Nov 26. Is that filmed in NYC? I wonder how you get tickets... I think Comedy Central...
