Well, you've read the notes, the notes were rich, and now it is time for you to post until the rich cows come home.

And the word of the day is: PERDURE!

How did I miss the news that Ann Reinking died?

That was a shocker.

Yes, but it happened in what, December; and I just heard about it.

Where have you been??

TCB · « **Reply #6 on:** February 20, 2021, 12:38:53 AM »

Obviously not on Broadway.com.

Well, now you're in the know...famous deaths-wise.

TCB · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2021, 12:42:32 AM »

Good night, George.

Good night, Tom.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well. I had a long dream in which I had a meeting about Midsomer Murders with John Nettles, its original star. Then I had to go to my apartment to pick up some DVDs - Goldoni's comedy The Liar was one of them - and I ran into my college friend Karen Eifert, whom I've not seen in the last five years or so, although she lives about 15 blocks from me. I told her to come see my new apartment, which was at Broadway and 86th Street, and we ended up in the elevator forever since it kept passing the seventh floor.

All three cats ate their breakfast, so I'm happy.

Once I finish clean up and getting yesterday's mail, I will finish up my taxes. Depending on how long the tallies take, I will then type up my report for my accountant.

BK, I am really impressed. You've heard operas I didn't even know about!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2021, 04:15:00 AM »

DR George, thanks for the link, but that production with those dancers prancing about looks terrible. I've seen Peleas and Melisande twice in my life, and I'm convinced it's more fun to listen to Debussy's score than to watch it.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2021, 04:20:35 AM »

DR singdaw, yes, the Respighi Lauda Per la Nativita is really glorious. I have been wanting to see this highly praised production of his Sleeping Beauty opera.

singdaw · « **Reply #17 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:02:40 AM »

Good morning, everyone.

singdaw · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:02:52 AM »

I was apparently logged in all night.

singdaw · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:03:17 AM »

That sounds interesting, DR elmore3003.

John G. · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:16:22 AM »

Good morning, all.

John G. · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:17:18 AM »

Wow, an opera about Bosco. Whatever happened to Bosco? Do they still make it?

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:19:24 AM »

Didn't former DR MBarnum have a dog named Bosco?

John G. · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:19:36 AM »

According to the internet, and I believe everything I read there, Bosco is still manufactured and sold worldwide.

singdaw · « **Reply #24 on:** February 20, 2021, 05:46:55 AM »

The Internet, and Everything I Read There, is the title of my next something-or-other.

Which leaves me completely in the dust. But I am really enjoying reading about these.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** February 20, 2021, 06:20:20 AM »

DR Elmore, did the Met ever do a telecast of Pelleas? I'm thinking they probably wouldn't have, but if they did, I never saw it.

I see that a 1983 broadcast is included in the Levine CD set, and that I hadn't yet removed the shrink wrap on this one. That will be rectified. He did it at the school, and I studied it pretty closely back then and fell in love with it. My only recordings, which I still have, were Ansermet and Cluytens.

Seriously, have I seen a single film from this past year? I don't think so.
