hmm, just when i decided to sleep early, this post is distracting me…
GrammarGeek: in case you’d like a starting point.. this was practically the first thing i stumbled upon back in 2013 when I searched for “Mingardo opera” (or might have been “Mingardo Handel”) on tube.
and the 3rd thing i found that same week. I don’t even know how that came up on the radar, could it be “Mingardo trousers” ? 😀 but jeah. ok, i seriously go zz now, before the nose totally clogged up… Hope the warm voice and the count-down can keep you warm!
more sneaking in, last one i promised, to keep me (us?) warm for east coast temperature..
(i’ve been wanting to drop these 2 off, the prev came from the Alessandrini’s own collection, while this from the La Scala’s)
Nice, so that was a Scala/Staatsoper Berlin coproduction? (took me a while to come up with these few words of reply, because magically I seem to scroll up to that Ottone gif, then through all 12WS of Christmas pics!)
hand., wrist…
yes i have the whole La Scala radio broadcast! (thanks to Stray). very good, had a round of fun with D too when it was live. can share later if you would like. in transit now…
