Pity we are bothering with such trivial foolishness in other places, I am guilty too). Tonight I found both Marlis Petersen and Anthony Michaels-Moore to be EXCELLENT. The girl with the tutu was really touching to me, so no deductions there.We love the Orchestra - perhaps even more these days. May they becomethe semi-official Megaron Orchestra ;-) One minus - of course, the missing scene. One vocal minus - I'm not telling, but anyone who listened to the applause tonight noticed a very audible dip in that case. One (very minor) minus for the clothes - spectacular but non-flattering costume for the Charmeuse. Absolutely untypical lapse of judgement to my eyes, VERY easy to forgive and forget among all the visual splendor. All in all, again, to my eyes and ears, this WAS a triumph (i.e. a little more impressed than you ;-). Hope you enjoy it with Furtal, too, and thanks again for the fantastic blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-45495384165968891682009-03-10T01:37:00.000+02:002009-03-10T01:37:00.000+02:00Hmmmm lew oti h Futral 8a einai diaforetikh.H Marl...Hmmmm lew oti h Futral 8a einai diaforetikh.<BR/><BR/>H Marlis einai lighter k h Futral 8a dwsei ton fwnhtiko/dramatiko ogko pou leipei apo thn Petersen, alla oi pshles ths Futral mou shkwnoun thn trixa...Parsifalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355495438180470535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-67494945524217924432009-03-09T16:37:00.000+02:002009-03-09T16:37:00.000+02:00xm.... les i frutal na einai kaliteri?xm.... les i frutal na einai kaliteri?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-90923059220400767892009-03-08T20:22:00.000+02:002009-03-08T20:22:00.000+02:00Yes Parsi, 100% yes!

If I may add, I found Marilis VERY covincing in almost everything in her last two tableaux, much less so in the first two. The main problem, IMO, was not vocal but stylistic: Hardly ever did she sound i d i o m a t i c... But even thus,such was the force of her conviction and dramatic instinct in the last two tableaux, that she crushed almost all my objections. A nice opera night indeed. What a pity the balletic treatment of the Meditation, and the public's applause of the ballerina before the final bars! All poetry was gone :-(<BR/>The same goes for the excision of the second tableau of act III. I am a big fan of Plasson's, having heard him -with his Toulousains or others- in various occasions, but yesterday he was "au dessous" of his usual standards. I liked the youthfull and very sound conscious performance of the Orchestra of Colours, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370742521301499135.post-60007647418708068852009-03-08T19:12:00.000+02:002009-03-08T19:12:00.000+02:00και έλεγα κι εγώ τι λείπει τί λείπει σε σχέση με τ...και έλεγα κι εγώ τι λείπει τί λείπει σε σχέση με το cd...πάντως έμεινα ευχαριστημένος.
