I'm in Paris for the week and have tickets for the premiere (Monday), Wednesday and Friday.<br /><br />Perhaps I'll see you.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-41408995466060135302010-06-12T18:04:43.478+02:002010-06-12T18:04:43.478+02:00Jon, Rossini and Debussy were not contemporaries a...Jon, Rossini and Debussy were not contemporaries and represent completely different styles, so I don't think it's fair or reasonable to compare them. They were both great in their own ways, and the operas of both of them can very well coexist today. ;)<br /><br /> As for the sold out shows, Comique will be full too. It's just that La donna involves 3 big stars of bel-canto [with Colin Lee fitting like a glove with the rest] which was a big attractor. Plus this opera is performed very rarely...<br /><br /> Peace out!Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-66541739502068094382010-06-11T23:58:47.260+02:002010-06-11T23:58:47.260+02:00Mei and Opera Cake,

I went to the box-office this Monday to ask if they had any ticket returned or... and they almost laughed at me.<br /><br />There will certainly be some people selling their tics in front of the theater on the day of performance, AND the touts who --in spite of the police control-- will be selling the tickets for two times the normal ticket price. <br /><br /><br />Hope Pelléas and Die Walkure will be good a consolation :)Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-67658097092168762282010-06-09T12:35:19.771+02:002010-06-09T12:35:19.771+02:00Really looking forward to this production, it'...Really looking forward to this production, it's my replacement for the totally sold-out La donna del lago, I bet it will worth it...Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716612124717913648noreply@blogger.com
