The Lincoln Center is the Mecca for all opera buffs, this year even more
so.
This week sees three premiers to start the 2012/13 season with a bang. Last night's
opening gala of Donizetti's "L'Elisir
d'Amore" was yet another triumphant appearance
of Anna Netrebko and Matthew Polenzani in one of the greatest
comic gems in opera, as the fickle Adina and her besotted Nemorino.
Tomorrow follows Puccini's "Turandot" [global live cast starts at 12:30am
BST] for which Zeffirelli provides a spectacular stage; a repeat performance
from last night on Thursday, followed by Bizet's "Carmen" on Friday [also
available as live broadcast, 12:30am]. Saturday ushers in 2 performances, with
Verdi's "Il Trovatore" in a Matinée and Turandot in the evening. Other
highlights later in the season is Wagner's Ring.
I wish I'd still live in New York.
