Live streaming on Boxing Day, Hansel & Gretel (I almost wrote Handel & Gretel, now there's a mashup idea), another Guardian/Glyndebourne collaboration, details here. While you wait, they offer a Mozart Requiem -- not wicked Christmas-y, but it is the Guardian. (Oh but wait, they've commissioned downloadable wrapping paper!)
Plus some things we missed (or possibly just forgot): from WGBH, Boston Baroque's Les Indes Galantes recorded last May, and some Boston Camerata (both audio only); and Daniel Catán's Il Postino, from LA Opera, is up at the Great Performances website.
Tenor as the Witch?
ReplyDeleteAhem. I won't say anything.
Offshoot of pantomime?
ReplyDelete...and, I hope, not the Global Trend of Diminishing Roles for Mezzos...
ReplyDeleteFrom a business standpoint, a valid point. From a symbolic standpoint, more tenors should be evil and come to bad ends, and more mezzos should get the girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. A grrl needs positive spin every now and again.
