Quotation from Opera Chic today:
"Next season will launch the world premiere of a Los Angeles Opera commission, Il Postino (The Postman, based on the "dreams do come true" 1994 film), which will open the season on September 23, 2010. Previously delayed, Mexican composer Daniel Catán's Spanish-language opera and libretto was supposed to open this past season starring Mexican tenor Rolando Villazon as the title role of Mario Puoppolo (obviously, it never happened). A year later, tenor Charles Castronovo will sing the timid postman with an additionally talented cast: Placido Domingo sings the role of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda; Chilean soprano Cristina Gallardo-Domâs will sing Matilde Neruda; and Spanish mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola-Herrera is Donna Rosa."
Exit of the postman:
So Rolando will not create this role after all.
Too bad!I was hoping to see him creating this new role, it was a challenging prospect.
He could have been working with his mentor Placido Domingo.
Whatwith Salinger's departure, it is not a good day.
The Catcher in the rye brings me back to students'day;it was published in 1951,and on the American Studies syllabus in France in 64.
quote:
Holden: "You know that song, 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'?..."
Phoebe: "It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'!... It's a poem. By Robert Burns."
-Chapter 22
