Oh, sorry. It was on Sirius so naturally I assumed everyone with eardrums was tuned in! It's known as Met-centrism, I think.

Roschmann sang Ilia in last night's broadcast performance of Idomeneo.

It was also nice to hear a tenor who could swing all the notes of Fuor del mar and - heavens! -- toss in a few extra on the rebound (in true post-Handelian big-f-off-aria style). Nothin' against the other guys, but I've never understood the Met's casting tendencies for this role.
