Bryn Terfel and Antonio Pappano have sent video messages (here and here) to the good people of Rumania, urging them to welcome Angela Gheorghiu to their cinemas as Tosca.

Does she really need to be reintroduced to the folks back home? What’s the point of these encomia? Why does Bryn want to be cast in the next Balkan production of Teddy Bear’s Picnic? What’s going on here….? And why is Jonas Kaufmann so subdued?

    Don’t forget Jonas Kaufman, even though he’s slightly less enthusiastic in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oenKW9N7L_4

    I think it is only promotion.Perhaps Angela would do the same thing for Tosca relay in Wales or Germany.Is it so strange to wish the best to a colleague?
