This is not a liveblog. This is “Dr. T and Anik” watching some clips from their “We always wanted to check this out, remember?”
Featuring: Greek Soprano I and II (but no full Boccanegra because we have limits), Mingardo (because there should always be Mingardo) and Antonacci.
It is finally happening – the Mingardo/Galou-led “Incoronazione di Dario” under Dantone is out on DVD and it looks hilarious.
Hello, Anik’s holiday season Wishlist!
(not to self: this will not help with our current case of Mingardo fever. Then again, why would we want help on that front?)
Thank you, Lang, for the alert!
