Withdrawal
It's now the middle of October and if I were still in NY I would have seen at least three performances by now. Even though I work for an opera company, our season doesn't start for a while and I'm going through more separation pains.
So I have to rely on recordings for now. I found a wonderful DVD of Figaro from Salzburg with Reri Grist as Susanna and have spent a fair amount of time with the new Tristan (I'm falling in love with Nina Stemme's Isolde). But even as good as these are, I miss live performance.
The weather's beautiful and I love my new job, but I need more live music!
OK, rant over.

Oooh, Rich, I think you just found the perfect Christmas gift for me to give my Dad. Reri Grist as Susannah!
And I know what you mean about live performances. It's like a fix, or my regular a.m. double espresso. Maybe I should get over myself with the surtitles thing and just go!
PS Rant on. I personally always enjoy and learn something from your posts.
