(or, I guess, "Told y'all.", depending on which setting was used) I think it just makes sense to get the most mileage out of the most exciting component of the evening, and The Met would be well advised to do this too, as you suggest. I think it'd be great if Barnaba dumped her corpse out of a sack at the very end, letting her fall just a little further downstage than dead Voigt, head toward the audience, eyes wide open and staring. Pandemonium! And, seeing as she goes pretty much everywhere else Gioconda goes, she could also tag along to the ship in the Second Act, and could maybe even contribute to the Giocona/Laura duet a bit, throwing in a hearty "Andate, ragazza!" or "Cantilo, sorella!" after their various one-uppity proclamations.stewballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780572827422587725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17999907.post-21352120000321130252008-09-13T15:13:00.000-05:002008-09-13T15:13:00.000-05:00I bet you she'd be game!

My partner use to arrange her work visas for Canada - there is definately something wrong when she has sung more often for the COC than the Met - when she would go there to sing. Apparently she was a delight to deal with - always came in the Embassy herself, never her agent or assitant. He adored her.Willymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.com
