*I heard only about 10 minutes of it - * I didn't think much of the singing of the three Ladies. I thought Nathan's tone quality was inconsistent -- sometimes...
Yes, I went to the Walter Reade Theatre to see it, and it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!! And in principle, I so disapproved of cutting it down that I cancelled one of...
Hi Clare, Thanks for your thoughts -- but your e-mail was cut off and I'd like to hear what you thought of Pamina. . . . I hope you are feeling much better...
Hi Jim, Was there a radio broadcast as well? Or did you leave the movie theater after 10 minutes? Patrick [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Here's the review of Gunn's performance from the San Francisco Chronicle. This is from a much longer article about the whole Met at the Movies experience; you...
Greetings and Happy New Year! After a 4 hour flight delay I finally made it home from my New Year's trip. I did go and see The Magic Flute at the theater and...
Hi everyone, Yes, it was on a Michigan classical-music FM station that routinely offers the Saturday broadcasts from the Met. I was on my way to a meeting. ...
I have just finished listening (twice) to an audio recording of Jonathan Dove's television opera MAN ON THE MOON with Nathan Gunn as Buzz Aldrin and Patricia...
Haven't seen or heard it yet, but I am also eagerly anticipating a DVD. I tried to get on the website to watch it live, but had no luck. I have a feeling that...
Hi Elizabeth, I hope you've recovered from your flight -- anything relating to airplanes is just a nightmare these days. I'm already dreading the flight to...
Elizabeth, Which website was showing it? Not that I think I'd have better luck with my antiquated computer, but I'd like to try at least. I keep an eye on DVD...
Hi Patrick, At least you won't be flying to Pittsburgh in the dead of winter. I had thought about seeing Cosi in Chicago in February, since my parents will be...
Hi Patrick, http://www.channel4.com/ was showing it on their website at the same time that it aired on TV in the UK. I tried to register on their website so I...
Hi Elizabeth, I might be going to Cosi on March 4 or March 7. Yes, it's risky re weather -- my friends and I were there in Dec 2005 for I forget what -- maybe...
I was at opening night and I agree that the costumes and singing were great. I felt that, as on every opening night, it was not quite ready for performance...
I thought that she sang beautifully -- my only regret is that she has become pudgy, which is very different from the way she appeared in the wonderful film of...
Hi Elizabeth, I have to add that Chicago Cosi to my list of six or seven failed attempts to get to Chicago (I've never been there). I saw the production at SF...
Thanks -- it sounds as if it was a simulcast and not a permanent link, so it's probably too late for that website for me. Incidentally is the title Man on the...
Clare, Thanks for the thoughts on The First Emperor. As far as the conventionality of the plot, I think my friends felt it was sort of a standard love ...
It's quite possible that the title did change. Maybe the first one was a working title. I think I like Man on the Moon better. Buzz on the Moon reminds me...
How funny -- you're right, Buzz on the Moon brings up a different image if you're not immersed in the NASA story! [Non-text portions of this message have been...

I just watched an internet download of Jonathan Dove's MAN ON THE MOON and would have to say I'm glad I listened to an audio-only recording first. The audio...
The first run of The Magic Flute was so popular that there will be a rebroadcast in theaters on January 23rd at 7:30PM. More theaters will be included this...
Thanks for the info -- this is great news. I am sincerely glad that my blog entry guessing at failure for the Met movie experiment was so completely wrong. ...
FYI Re THE FIRST EMPEROR Of interest to anyone in the NY area. I have been bombing the Met Marketing and General Manager with calls and emails demanding that...
I see in the Journal at nathangunn.com that Nathan is recording a new CD, for Sony. "I'll be making my first solo recording with Sony records. It should be ...
The CD is complete! Now we just have to wait until August to hear it. Congrats on the Bear's win, Nathan! But it was close...REALLY close! ;) Elizabeth...
Elizabeth, I was thinking about you when I watched the end of that game -- and then my Patriots barely squeaked through in San Diego. At least when the games...
