Hopefully they will sustain this quality level throughout the whole series of show. If so, you'll be fine... and more.Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-32662654310248794772011-01-19T12:05:37.362+01:002011-01-19T12:05:37.362+01:00Thx for your review.

I'm glad to hear that Dessay's voice is in great health, too. I wish I could see this production as Pelly's work sounds intriguing. Maybe it will travel out here to San Francisco.

It was silicone breast forms.But I do admit that It looked real! <br />I totally rely on the critique you wrote. It was my first Haendl opera, my first baroque experience and I loved it! Dessay was just amazing and her Si pietà di me non senti was so emotionally powerful.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733010275316153810noreply@blogger.com
