While I don’t think this photo choice was necessary (well, it’s the AZM, so…), I am delighted at Cavalli coverage in the press and certainly well-deserved praise (I haven’t been there) for an indeed stellar cast.

Fintathur in May?

Tatjana Gürbaca (!) is staging “Finta giardiniera” with the Zurich opera studio, opening May 5th.

In added great news, Ramiro is cast with mezzo Gemma Ni Bhriain.

Concept idea, upon seeing this cover still: make Santuzza a closet case? (and both she and Turridù, who is her ticket out of there, have an affair with Lola?)

Birds and Sorceresses

…delightful trouser news: Iervolino is slated to debut as Rinaldo (in Italy).

Happening right now: Our Lady Of The Undercut dealing in Scottish Bro Woes.

Then again, somewhere nonbinary people are doing the Lord’s work and are giving Donna Elvira a girlfriend.
