Joyce DiDonato's photo skills are almost as good as her vocal skills. She presents to us a gorgeous photo of the Lyric Opera of Chicago's stage from a different angle than we're used to. Can she get any more fabulous?
Jillian Lewis should have won Project Runway. No questions, no comments, no concerns. Her clothes are so fabulous and women actually want to wear them!!!! I looove Christian, don't get me wrong, he is FIERCE, but who would actually wear that stuff? (Besides Victoria Beckham, course.) I loved Jillian from the start and I think it's a crime she didn't even get runner up! All three were amazing, but Jillian is my favorite! Wah!
Happy Listening!! =)
PS. More details later (I'm too tired again), but the Met's 125th anniversary gala is something I always thought would be a cool idea. Personally, I'd like to see the old Tosca, Turandot, and some of the old old ornate sets. But I mean, Chagall is cool, too! =P

2/3 of the "Tudor Queens" are Coming to the Met!
With whispers of Beverly Sills in the air the Metropolitan Opera announced that it would only stage two of Donizetti's three "Tudor Queens." Anna Netrebko is to star in "Anna Bolena" for the opening night of the 2011-12 season, while Joyce DiDonato is to portray Mary, Queen of Scots in "Maria Stuarda" in the 2012-13 season.
"There is no singer around today who can sing it," says Peter Gelb of Donizetti's third queen, Elisabetta, from "Roberto Devereux." It's too bad because there are a few singers who I would like to see in the final scene. However, I'm looking forward to Joyce DiDonato's Maria Stuarda after hearing her Elizabeth.
No comments on Netrebko's bel canto abilities until after her Met "Lucia." I don't want to be shown up. Now that would just be embarassing! =P
Happy Listening!! =)
