REPORTS
Howard's wife, Paula, attended the show and sent a message to her husband at the intermission. Howard shared Paula's impressions with us:
"She was so impressed with costumes, lighting and staging but emphasized that singing was simply glorious. Costello is wonderful as was rest of cast. She said that this was Anna's new defining moment."John also attended the show and said:
"I was very fortunate to attend the dress rehersal for Anna Bolena today at the Met. In spite of a stage elevator glitch the performance was one of the best I have ever seen. Well done to the cast and crew of the Met and to the generous benefactors who make it happen. I enjoyed Anna's performance most of all, she owns this role. I have tickets to a performance of Anna Bolena later in the season. I can't wait to see her perform the role again."Check La Cieca's Blog Parterre Box for more reports.
