Good Evening!
I'm back from Applause... It was a final dress, so I will refrain from any type of "review". However, I will say that an announcement was made right before the show started that Ms. Ebersole had been stricken with the flu since last Saturday. Today was her first day back in rehearsal, however, she was still under the weather. But she went on tonight. -As Jack Viertel noted, if The Metropolitan Opera can make such announcements, well... In any case... I'm sure the chat boards will be hopping tonight. And probably through the weekend.
