If you get a chance to listen to
Indra Thomas singing LIVE,
please do (YT videos are a bad approximation to what you get from her live performance). I don't like comparing the singers of our time with glories from the past, but Indra's rich timbre makes you think of Leontyne Price -- the resemblance is too strong to ignore. She was my big surprise on the night of that
awesome Requiem by Britten at Playel the other night (
where I took this pic, btw).
I saw on her website that she'll be singing
Aida in Avignon. The tickets are on sale for
the matinee of April 25, and
the evening of April 27.
A weekend in
Avignon should be goooood. Avignon is famous for its beauty of
La Provence, for its old Vatican-
interim status (
heh!), and for its summer theater festival... To be honest, first thing that comes to my mind after mentioning Avignon is "
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"
Can't you see a gesture of the Pablo's genius in this pic alone?! This was his homage to Cézanne...
