Knock on Wood, Don't Break a Mirror, and Just DON'T GIVE THEM BACK LUCK!

The Met announced that FINALLY Ben Heppner and Deborah Voigt will be together (as in singing at the same time) in Tristan und Isolde. It's a miracle, I say. Here's what the Met says:

"Deborah Voigt and Ben Heppner, originally scheduled to star in all six
performances of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde this season, are scheduled to sing
together on Friday night. Illness has prevented them from taking the stage
together until this final Tristan of the season, conducted by James Levine. To
celebrate their very first full performance together—anywhere—of this epic
opera, the Met will stream the performance live on its website."

As it says, at 7pm tonight go to the Met website and the Tristan will be streaming LIVE. Yes.
We need to quarantine these two or something, though, because they can not get sick. Can't. Can not.

Happy Listening!! =)

Ben's in, Deb's Out...

And the Met Tristan is in chaos.

Heppner Talks About His Health

Poor Ben Heppner. Getting misdiagnosed by TWO New York doctors? It's rough stuff. I just hope he gets better.



In the meantime, I think they should let Gary Lehman sing the HD transmission, but Robert Dean Smith is scheduled. I would have thought Gary Lehman deserved it. After all that...



Happy Listening!! =)
