ReplyDeleteI was planning to go but i was almost sure Rolando will cancel. But still... Anna/Elina/Massimo...". I think it's worth a flight ticket and 1 night of accommodation. Anybody planning to go?
ReplyDeleteOf course! I am planning to go to Wien, at least for Carmen.
ReplyDeleteI am planning too ... it will be myself present for my "LAUREA"... I hope ! ahhahahah
ReplyDeleteReally bad news :
ReplyDeleteRolando AND Anna have cancelled the Idomeneo that was scheduled in Paris (January/February) !!!
Rolando will be replaced by C. Workman and Anna by T. Iveri.
(I would say a very disappointing re-cast by the way : shame to the ONP !).
The cancellation of Rolando is linked with his surgery, but the ONP didn't explain why Anna is cancelling her Elettra !
I'm so disappointed ! I was dying to hear her in this role !!!
