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...
Ken, I knew about Almaviva, but I didn't know that he'd sung Don Giovanni already. Do you recall when and where he sang the role? From reading the 2004 Opera...
Patrick, My two obvious choices to answer your question - Billy Budd and Figaro in Barbiere. Happy 4th to you, too! Elizabeth ... would be ... Almaviva in The ...
Accuracy is always good! I'll just move those two roles into the "things he's done I wish I'd seen" category. Patrick [Non-text portions of this message have...
If you can swing trips down to SF this fall and then over to Pittsburgh this spring, you can see both of those. I'm hoping to go to Pittsburgh, but we'll see....
... Well, I can't swear to it, but I believe I read that he had performed the Don with the Boston Lyric Opera. Not sure whether it was staged or in concert. It...
Jokanaan in Salome. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around ...
I always wanted to see a Salome production where the Jokanaan was truly worthy of Salome's attraction, puts a whole different spin on the interaction. And...
I just checked the dates for the SF Barbiere again and it looks like I won't be able to make it. I would only be able to attend a Saturday performance, of...
I believe Richard Strauss wanted Elisabeth Schumann to sing Salome, it would have been a much reduced "volume" performance as she was a Sophie and would have...
Do you think it (Jokanaan) would work in a smaller European opera house (not a barn like the Met) or with the "elfin music" orchestral playing that Strauss ...
... And wisely, she refused <g>. And although Nathan Gunn would make a physically plausible Jokanaan, to say the least, one hopes he'd refuse the role if it ...
... Pelleas can be sung either by a tenor or baritone, though these days it seems to be more often sung by the latter. Gunn could handle it easily, though his ...
Hi Clare, I don't remember when you were seeing Grendel but I'd love to hear your reactions. I ended up not going to NYC so I missed it. Did anyone else see...
Hello, I have read that Nathan Gunn was Don Giovanni in a concert performance for Boston Baroque in 1997. My previous message on this subject appears to have...
Hello and thank you very much for the information. I think it would be great if Nathan added this role to his regular staged repertoire. Elizabeth ... ...
I was surprised just now to read in a Guardian review of Handel's Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne that Nathan Gunn had been one of the singers. Checking at the...
That mistake seems to be happening fairly often. Someone posted a review of a recording of Messiah here a while ago that actually had Nathan Berg instead of...
Hi Patrick – I saw Grendel and can give you my impressions of it, although Clare will be able to do so with much more in-depth musical knowledge. First of...
Wow, I would have completely missed this. Thanks Nicholas. I just ordered it and will post my thoughts on the recording after I give it a listen. Has anyone...
Hi Patty, Thanks so much for the very detailed and vivid description! I feel now as if I had seen it too. I haven't been wild about Goldenthal's music in the...
The very role I'm seeing him in this November (here in San Francisco for those who missed the earlier discussion). I can also attest to Celestial Audio's high...
Have a safe trip! I don't envy you having to fly right now (especially such a long flight), but I'm sure you'll have a great time. We can't wait to read all...
Elizabeth, Thanks so much for the bon voyage wishes! I am not looking forward to the lengthy flight but I hope carrying the libretto of Parsifal will convince...
