Happy


A very lovely New Year's Eve and New Year to you and yours from me and Rose Pauly. Seriously, I'm channeling her and she really likes you guys and wants to wish you a super 2007. "Super"--that was her word!

Happy New Year to you and Rosa, and WHAT ROLE IS THAT??

Of all things, Grete in Schreker's Die Ferne Klang. I have a recording but have never given it a with-libretto listen-through so I don't know if she actually, uh, rides around on a lion or just has modern views about furniture.

Happy New Year, Maury! Hope it's "Super".

There will be a performance of FERNE KLANG at Avery Fisher Hall on Sunday, April 15 at 3:00. Leon Botstein conducts. No lions, I suppose.

No, to my recollection of the synopsis (I don't have a libretto) there is no riding around on lions -- Maybe this is from the Italian bit of Act 2? Definitely some good ol' fallen woman iconography. She just needs a champagne glass in her hand.

Definitely the second act. They are in Venice--hence the lion--and she is a courtesan--hence the riding of the lion. Courtesans dig that kind of thing.
