Back to Bastille for a 'Grand Opéra' : After some time when I could not move much I am back to nearly normal and was so pleased to cheer for Karine Deshayes who is a smashing Urbain with so much fun, musicality and agility! a pity they cut her second aria ... introducing Raoul.
Of course she was the reason why I saw this long opera again and thought the one in Strasbourg some six years ago was much better (same Urbain too!) in a better production from Olivier Py and a much better tenor too (Grégory Kunde). Anyway same delightful music where is is fine to listen to the same words again and again when the tune is so good.
Here is the link to Culture Box for my blog friends who would have liked to travel to Paris, if it works... I hope it does!
