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...
I took Julie's suggestion and did a Google search on Buzz Aldrin. You can't miss what she's talking about. That man packs a mean punch! I wonder if they'll...
Cool beans! I'm going to check out your blog, and will wait with bated breath for your reviews of Bayreuth. Looking forward to them! Have a wonderful trip! ...
Hi all, Eric Owens sang well here in the Ford Honors program honoring Marilyn Horne 3-4 years ago. Ms. Horne broke us all down when she sang "Always" later in...
CELESTIAL AUDIO (http://www.celestialaudio.com.au/0INTRO.HTM)has released live performances with Nathan Gunn in "Florencia en el Amazonas"(CA500), "Cosi Fan...
Greetings! I'm back from Bayreuth and recovered from whatever it was I came down with right after I returned. Clare, if you are still interested in a Bayreuth...
Today I received the October issue of Gramophone and found a review of the Munich Barbiere with Gunn, issued by Sony Classical. The recording is one of the...
Houston Grand Opera <http://www.houstongrandopera.org/press/press_releases.aspx?PressRelease\ ID=169> National Public Radio November 25: Claudio Monteverdi's...
Thanks so much! I was thinking just the other day that I should do a web search to see if an air date had been announced for Poppea. I enjoyed the performances...
Yesterday I received the season brochure from the Met Opera Guild: on Wednesday, January 3 07, Gunn and other singers involved in the production will have a...
It's been a while since I've posted here. Things have been incredibly hectic! Patrick, glad to hear that you made it back safely from Bayreuth and that you...
Hi Elizabeth, Nice to hear from you and happy-almost-birthday (it's the end of this week, right?). Glad you enjoyed L'Italiana -- I think that's the production...
Patrick, Oh my goodness, looks like your birthday is today!!! Technically there are still three more hours left here on the west coast, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...
Hi Elizabeth, I hope your Hawaii trip works out -- maybe by next week travel at least will be back to normal. Things can change in a moment (for instance, I...
... they're going ... I will definitely plant that idea in their heads - what's a birthday without cake?? Hmmm...now if Nathan would sing Happy Birthday it ...
Patrick -- Please tell me all about Bayreuth and about other travels in that area. I have been out of touch all summer -- my shoulder replacement, which has...
Patrick (or anyone else in the bay area), Do you happen to know if any San Francisco Opera performances are being streamed live over the internet? Our station...
Hi Elizabeth, Unfortunately the SF Opera performances are still not broadcast, either on radio or via the Internet. In fact a few years ago the local...
Hi Clare, So sorry to hear about your health problems! Take good care. I hope you are now recovered enough to enjoy the new opera season. My hotel in Bayreuth...
Barbiere isn't being broadcast, but I just remembered that the Met, as I'm sure you've heard, is planning to show several operas in movie theaters; one of them...
Wow, that is really unfortunate that they don't broadcast the performances, especially with all the great singers that perform there. At least the Met...
Hi Patrick, I have been practically living within the confines of my office for the past two weeks and haven't been able to keep up with anything, so this is...
