A little more summer viewing...
I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but it is (just) possible to have too much Mozart. Since the start of July, I have seen on TV Entführung, Clemenza, two Nozze, a rather quirky Don Giovanni live from Stuttgart, and a fearfully boring Zauberflöte live from Salzburg. Enough, thank you. However, grateful I am for the alternative to the bombardment of sport this summer, a little variety in the diet would be nice too. The other broadcasts have all been from Orange; a Pagliacci and Tosca from past years, the previously mentioned Bohème and last night's Turandot, which Alagna battled through valiantly, with considerably better results than those reported on Saturday night, when apparently the top B-flat of "Nessun dorma" just didn't come out at all!
Several concerts/recitals now programmed for this month. Although I will try to stick to my 24-hour posting rule, it may not always be possible, but there will be reports within a few days.
