I have not seen the MET Der Rosenkavalier of which BK speaks. That shall have to be rectified. Also, I know the director's name but I have no idea who that conductor is, which might be an embarrassing admission, so that shall also have be rectified.

There's going to be a whirlwind of rectifying going on around here.

DR CXhasSmith, I wonder if you have the James Levine Rosenkavalier DVD from the Met?

DR George, I wonder if you will be creating a DVD of The Prom?

Hahahaha.....your comment reminds me of the movie RED GARTERS.....

Joanne Gilbert and her father ride into town and no one is there - they're all down at the hanging.....

She meets a boy of about 8.....and later when describing the event to Rosemary Clooney she says - outraged:  "He offered me a 'chaw of toe-bakky'!"

And Rosemary replies....."The lad is generous to a fault."

Yes, and thank you for the reminder. I don't recall how Troyanos and Te Kanawa are in comparison with the other great Octavians and Marschallins out there, but I'm looking over the whole cast list (Blegen - Pavarotti - Nico Castel, another wonderful character actor/singer) and it will be great to revisit this one.

EDIT:  I'm also curious to check out the Karajan film (for my first time in over 40 years) which now, finally, seems to be readily available. Of course, we didn't have home video back then...

Tuesday morning greetings!  Finally watched the Kritzerland show last night and, sure enough, it cheered me right up!

As we've watched holiday specials on TV, Richard and I have become quite annoyed with all the lip syncing (sp?).  It's so nice to see good singers, really singing on camera.

T.O.D.

Aside from researching my own plays, I haven't done a lot of reading this year.

However , I am currently reading THE BIG GOODBYE by Sam Wasson. 

It's about the making of CHINATOWN.

T.O.D. (2)

On order (expected later this week) is RED MILL by Murray Schwartz.

He was the producer of Merv Griffin's talk show.

Back in the day, I had many pleasant dealings with him.

I'm up, I'm up - seven and a half hours of sleep.  I stayed up and finished project two, but not really since there'll be a whole slew of little additions today.
