Your vote of confidence has me heading over to Amazon right now to check pricing/availability. I heard she was stellar. I have the Bayreuth Tristan und Isolde that she’s in. The staging is interesting, but I found Theorin’s performance to be rather amazing.chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649489958368298291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-17417605588985334632010-08-15T22:28:50.126+02:002010-08-15T22:28:50.126+02:00Thanks Chelsea and sorry for this belated reply.

I asked if the show was filmed and if they plan to release it on DVD. They answered Yes & Yes but they wouldn't say anything about the release date.Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-83555918610260099262010-08-14T14:03:22.193+02:002010-08-14T14:03:22.193+02:00Thanks a lot for the wonderful review!

If you hear any news of a release, please let us know.<br /><br />Enjoy the performance tonight! I must admit, I am a little jealous... :)<br /><br />I've had the good fortune of meeting Theorin, and she's a lovely woman. I'm so glad that she's enjoying a successful run.chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649489958368298291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-28454528976957088602010-08-11T23:44:58.700+02:002010-08-11T23:44:58.700+02:00Hi Chelsea! ;)

So sometimes next year (if not even for the Christmas holidays) you may expect DVD to show up. <br /><br />Theorin was just your perfect Elektra. I don't want to rub it in but I actually have the ticket for the second show too. So I'll go to see [or better, to listen to] the show again tomorrow evening. <br /><br />I saw in the program that Iréne will be singing in Washinton, then she comes back to Isolde in Tokyo and Copenhagen, then Kundry at ENO in London, and then Brunnhilde in Milan and Berlin (Barenboim Ring). Then she will be Turandot (sic!) in Munich, San Francisco, London and New York, and finally again Elektra in London and Paris :)Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-82745293938697685892010-08-11T18:45:51.260+02:002010-08-11T18:45:51.260+02:00Thanks for the review and pictures!

We'll get her right after the Elektra for a few performances in Un Ballo in Maschera. Any word on if this production will be televised or is it just the radio broadcast? It seems like such a stellar cast!chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649489958368298291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-48218150160052574502010-08-11T10:25:52.905+02:002010-08-11T10:25:52.905+02:00Right on CT!

OK if the cast wasn't this big I'd be certainly spitting fire here [or I wouldn't have gone to see it at all!] :) <br /><br />Tonight Lulu!

First time you experience all this parade of creator-dresses, Hugo Boss suites and bow-ties, Taittinger and what-not, it's fun! Second time, it becomes heavy and especially when you see some of those guys booing Gatti for not going for the rigid reading of the score... all the fun about the chic part disappears. <br /><br />Iréne looks great!Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-83300106828309188812010-08-09T18:41:52.192+02:002010-08-09T18:41:52.192+02:00Theorin looks amazing in this last photo.
