Broadcast of "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" from Paris

It was announced several weeks, even months, ago that France Musique would broadcast on 28. June 2008, one of the performances of Bellini's "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" from Opera Bastille, Paris. For some reason the date of the performance selected for the broadcast has not been announced until today. It will be the performance on 5. Jun 2008, with Anna Netrebko as Giulietta, the one selected for the broadcast.

Anna Netrebko's baby likes Joyce DiDonato's singing

Joyce DiDonato, who sings Bellini's "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" in Paris with Anna Netrebko, who is on her seventh month of pregnancy, wrote on her blogsite YankeeDiva:

"I forgot to tell you before, don't look at my stomach when you are singing to me!" (It's no surprise that she happens to be a bit pregnant at present....) so I'm thinking, "Oh fabulous - I just played this whole death scene holding her hands and her stomach - great! - I'm making her self-conscience!" and I quickly apologized, to which she replied, "No, no - it's not that - it's that he likes your singing so much he's kicking like crazy, and I don't want you to see that and start laughing!" So the baby likes my singing? That's cool. Maybe they'll name him Romeo in my honor..."
