Word is that Strassberger is igniting this production with the same stroke of genius he had with the fantastic 'Nozze di Figaro' in Oslo last year, which is a constant sell out.

I am a passionate opera-goer and am keeping this rolling when I can and often in crazy situations (composing the posts when commuting on a train. <br /><br />Plus, I like La Cieca and I like Poplavskaya too ;) <br /><br />As for the live stream, one show of Giulio Cesare (new production in Paris) should be live broadcast but we still don't know which one. Will keep you posted.

I'm not really sure how wise it was for Gruberova to take such a big risk at this stage of her career but no matter how she sings they will love it in Barcelona ;)Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-22112005012528944692011-01-04T17:26:58.566+01:002011-01-04T17:26:58.566+01:00Mariela Devia has canceled Anna Bolena.Her replace...Mariela Devia has canceled Anna Bolena.Her replacement is Maria Pia Piscitelli.<br />ArabellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-47870623656870809922011-01-04T16:53:17.401+01:002011-01-04T16:53:17.401+01:00Definitely, I disagree ;)
