I beg to differ! At the risk of getting this forum off track... I loved Turandot. That is why I couldn't sleep, even though I wanted to!
The singing (as ALWAYS at The Met) was inspiring (Spira tanti sentimento!). But, the staging (especially the Franco Zefferelli set) was mind boggling. When was the last time you saw scenery get a round of applause?
As they say in Turandot.... Nessun Dorma! I hope the rest of the aria comes true as well this year.... VINCERO, VINCERO!
When we were in Daytona on Saturday, I asked my wife how many people at the track she thought had been to the opera the night before.. not many, I bet. Which inspires me to change my "subtitle" (is that what we call it?).
