Yes, it’s that production again!
Here is an image of Anja Harteros as Alicina.
Can you think of a witty caption to brighten everyone’s weekend?

Whether you are peering through the mists of time or not …
HAVE A WONDERFUL WHITE SHIRT WEEKEND
( Which may or may not involve quality time with Alcina herself ! )

CAPTIONS SO FAR
Why shouldn’t one leave a soprano to her own device in the make up room?

Ruggero! Ruggero!

Morgana had burnt the toast yet again. It seemed that Big Sister would have to have words with her!

Happy weekend, Eyes and all!

I’ve heard of smoke and mirrors but this is ridiculous!

(Actually they will meet in Zurich for Don Carlos http://www.opernhaus.ch/en/programm/detail.php?vorstellID=10337051) I’d love to see these two again…
Many thanks for the link, Yvette.
I wonder how many of us will be able to get this performance?
I’ll be Euroside at the time and will work hard to make it to more than one. I’m also going to at least 2 or 3 in Munich. The cast in Munich is generally quite superb (Pape, Kaufmann) but Harteros’ Elisabetta should not be missed who can logistically make it.
Welcome marcillac. Those of us who are logistically challenged will look forward to your reports.

How did last weekend’s Alcina date go??
Well, due to various constraints I have only seen the first act or so, but yes Frau Harteros seems to have a certain.. Er.. Presence and power. I almost don’t want to see it to the end knowing she will loose Ruggerio!
Hmm. Know I what you mean. I tend to watch in episodes – some more than once
But I LOVE the recit. which was usually missing from those excerpts on YT. One day we must compile a list of alternative endings for this opera. Lots of operas in fact.
