Patrick, Thank you for the equally great review. That photo on the website is kind of small, so it was nice to get a good description of what was happening in...
Hi Elizabeth -- I think I mentioned that at the second performance of An American Tragedy, Speight Jenkins sat a few seats down from me, so don't give up hope...
You know, I actually keep half-forgetting that I'm seeing Gunn in Barbiere this fall, probably because it's just part of my subscription and requires no ...
Dear, dear Patrick, How wonderful that you are going to Bayreuth! And what operas are you going to hear? This note should also serve as notice that I have...
Rather belatedly, I would like to add that I fully agree with Elisabeth. I went opening night and as I recall, two other nights including the final one,...
Hi Clare, Personally, I think they need to revise Dr Atomic into an oratorio (much like El Nino by Adams & Sellars) but I fear the changes won't be that...
(This is going off topic, for those who care about such things.) Clare, So nice to hear from you and so sorry to hear about the shoulder! I hope your recovery...
Well, I know that it(Doctor Atomic) is being -- or has been-- revised, and the Met seems satisfied with that -- had they not been, they would have scheduled...
Thank you for the Mark Morris tip, and for looking out for me in Bayreuth. If you have a chance to do any touring of Bavaria on top of that part, do try to...
Patrick, how exciting that you are going to Bayreuth! I'm sure it will be a wonderful trip. I love Germany. OK I'm biased, I was born in Munich but Bavaria...
Hi Elizabeth, I saw the note on Gunn's website as well. I hope he has a relaxing time with his family; who can blame him. (But I'm just as glad I didn't have...
Thanks for the advice, Clare -- I'm hoping to take in some of Bavaria. It's taken me this long to get to Germany, who knows when I'll get back. Patrick ...
Patrick, From what I have been told, the made for tv opera that he is doing will be more about the life of Buzz Aldrin. I'm sure Nathan will post more on this...
Thanks for the update, Elizabeth. I was hopeful that the Prokofiev would end up on DVD, as Glyndebourne productions often do, but at least the other project is...
And if you have not been in Germany before, you will find it very different than what you get in the US -- even imported German beer, which is very different...
Actually, I've already had a co-worker from Ireland warn -- well, that's not quite the right word -- me about German beer. (And I figure my people are going to...
The new opera for British television about Buzz Aldrin and his wife is being composed by Jonathan Dove (who wrote Flight). Patricia Racette is also going to be...
Thanks for the info, Patrick. From what I have read this will be airing on British television. I hope we will get to see it here in the U.S. as well. Well,...
What I want to know is how Nathan knew his "late" computer was female...? And can you picture all the moms falling all over themselves when Nathan brings his...
Hi Patty, Maybe this is why he thought "Frankie" was female: The top six reasons computers must be female: 6. As soon as you have one, a better one is just...
Hi Elizabeth, I'm assuming the Buzz Aldrin opera will show up on DVD in this country. I'll let you know if or when I see it on Amazon. I've given up on PBS as...
... Patty, I have to confess I had a few chuckles myself picturing that scene, or subsequent conversations between the Moms and their less helpful/less ...
Hi Patrick, They're called CrackBerries because they can be very addictive. Many people (including a lot of my co-workers) have them permanently attached to...
OK, since there is going to be a little bit of a lull until Nathan is back out performing, I thought I'd pose this question. I would LOVE to see him sing Don...
I've only seen the movie version of Carousel, which I understand is pretty different from the stage show. Although it contains one of my favorite songs (If I...
Well, I sure can't fault wanting to see him as Don Giovanni. That would be near the top of the list. I'd also like to see him as Count Almaviva in The Marriage...
Not to split hairs, but I believe Mr. Gunn has performed both the Don and the Count on stage in the past, and I hope will do so again. Best wishes and a happy...
