Social and personal: Glyndebourne is expecting a baby
mainThe opera festival has just announced that its chairman Gus Christie and his wife, soprano Danielle de Niese, are expecting their first baby in May. That should coincide nicely with the season opening.
Our congratulations to the happy pair.
Indeed, congrats! They’re nice people.
How will this impact Ms Di Niese’s casting as Valencienne in the Susan Graham run of “Merry Widow” at the Met? She’s slated to be in the 4/24 thru 5/7 performances. Obviously this won’t be possible as the baby will take priority- as it should! Wonder whom they’ll cast?
