Requiescat;Deer/Antelope

Well, I'm just going to have to admit that I sort of assumed Sarah Caldwell died years ago.

On the agenda: Das Rheingold on the Range, tomorrow night. Relevant query: is there some reason Elena Zaremba gets hired for contralto roles with important companies?

Ooh--I can't wait to hear / read what you think of the production! I think it could either work really well or fail miserably. Or just get really old really fast.

Well, I'm on record* as liking crazy productions better than dusty ones, but on paper the Native American concept does strain credulity a little. Whatever, as long as it's pretty and/or interesting, they can set it in medieval France for all I care. I sort of feel like the choice of setting and time period need not be motivated by anything in particular as long as it's worth watching. I'd like lots more stuff set in the 20's, but that's just my own fetish.


*yes, the phrase "on record" is a wee bit dignified for this forum, but what can you do?

The 20's? I approve! A Roaring Traviata springs to mind...
