Hi Parsifal's, how exclusive is this news as it's not on the Megaron website? I'd love to know how to get tickets there.
thanx
Kate
Elīna isn't in Hoffmann anymore because she's doing Carmen, and the rehearsals would run over eachotger. Imagine rehearsing all day and singing Nicklausse all
night. Kate Lindsey is Nicklausse.
She left out the Hoffman's when she was appointed to sing Carmen, but I think she will be in NY anyway for the rehearsals because Carmen is a new production.
Gosh! It seems that she has cancelled everything for that Carmen! I was supposed to watch her (last?) Cenerentola in Paris (end of January) but she also cancelled that and now la Genaux is singing Angelina.
Karin, it's official. The Megaron Website is very slow... it will appear eventually :)
I will also upload the poster of the recital, as soon as I get official permission.
ps. I will let you know when tickets are out and how to get them
As I reported at the time I found her Carmen here at Caracalla in July disappointing both vocally and dramatically. I was expecting great things based on reports of her Romeo in London and other roles elsewhere. But I honestly felt there was no sexuality or passion either dramatically or voccally.
Thanx Parsifal for your fast reply. I also have tickets for Cenerentola, but wasn't aware that she had cancelled. (When did this happen?!) Do you have any idea what program she'll be singing in Athens? Too bad we're only getting Carmen this season, and her website isn't up to date either!!! You can gather I'm really p...off about this news. Sorry!
Kate
Yeap, Angelina cancelled. A few days ago, I first read it at Mei's (GTL Torn T)and at the beginning I was p...d off as well, however I ve never heard Genaux live and she's more Angelina than Elina -I think.
Never mind! We (and she) will be in Athens.
The full program, in a few days :)
oh my God!!! thank you thank you for the news. If only she had an orchestra to accompany her...
the strange thing with elina is that her appearance is very soprano-like but she sings mezzo. does anyone else have this feeling about her?
I will go to the concert in Megaron for sure! And I will try to have there most of my latvian and greek friends who live here :)
