That is absurd.
Even 30% capacity is not good.
A South Korean study showed a case of Covid-19 being caught by a person who was 20 ft from an infected woman who stayed in the room for 5 minutes. A...

Belatedly, this is to confirm that Anna left the hospital in early October and seems to be fine. I just hope she doesn't develop any long-term pulmonary fibrosis. I regret it that Anna has joked...

I apologize for my lack of attention. I completely stopped transcribing and publishing interviews (some 20 done and never published) and I rarely post here. I'm not really taking good care of the...

I'm worried, no news. Her Instagram post was 9 days ago. I google "Anna Netrebko Covid" and only find news more than a week old and just reproducing the initial news. So I have no idea if she is...

Definitely. Up to 20% of survivors of Covid-19 have been showing up with various organ damage, including pulmonary fibrosis. Anna has Covid-19 pneumonia, I think there is a possibility that her...

Yes, Anna caught it from Ildar in a performance, despite safety precautions.

Yusif has been found to have antibodies, that is, he had an asymptomatic case.

Now, the thing us, Anna has...

Breaking news, unfortunate news:
Anna Netrebko is hospitalized with Covid-19. She caught it from Ildar Abdrazakov, who had a milder case.

The problem with the socially distanced theaters is that the model isn't very sustainable. Given how much an opera production costs, selling tickets to 100 people won't really match the costs. Not to...

LOL. Thankfully not. She looks like she is in top physical shape.

It's interesting that my wife had a similar thought. She said, "we'll see for how long she will look good like this; opera singers...

Yes, Patricia apparently seems to like to change her looks from time to time, and I think she is always attractive. And she has very good taste in terms of outfits (beautiful gowns, stylish casual...

Patricia Janeckova was for a while a very pretty teenager who sang the light repertory very well even before formal training. She's been out of the spotlight for a while, focusing on her full...

Have you all watched this today? I did not watch it all because my son called me in the middle of it for Father's Day and we had such a long chat that I missed half of it... but the parts I did watch...

Porgy and Bess on Blu-ray disc

Porgy and Bess, opera in two acts, sung in English, premiered in Boston on September 30th, 1935
Music by George Gershwin
Libretto by DuBose Haywarth and Ira...

Hi, Itullian! Glad to hear you're doing well and enjoying your favorite music. Hope you'll also have a wonderful Memorial Day (with some Rossini, Donizetti, or Bellini). :devilish:

Darn, I didn't see your post before buying it from Amazon UK. This one would have been less than half the price (shipping included), and it ships faster. I could cancel the other order... but I guess...

Yep, not available in America. Weirdly enough, a search for it on Amazon US using the same title of the UK page returns 82 results of rifle scopes and gun nuts magazines. What the hell? LOL. I'm...

I can't find this book on Amazon. How did you get it?

Yeah, don't go. And they shouldn't hold it on June 7. They should reschedule for later.

Not only that, but concert halls are in trouble too, as social distancing would reduce capacity to less than 20%:
...

Sorry that you're feeling like this. I've been very absent and away from opera too, but not because I'm feeling down but rather because I'm too busy and too concerned with the coronavirus crisis. But...

There is a Les Troyens that has a staging reminding us of a spaceship. There is another opera that has a staging that is indeed a spaceship with spacesuits but I forgot which one. I saw a videoclip...

While we in the United States are... a counter-example to the world. :culpability:

Not bad:

Spectacular (and what a good orchestra!):

She looks and sound stunning, here. Wow!

My new crush...

This Sempre Libera could be a bit more polished (although there is a lot of power, volume, and beautiful timbre). But what cough...
