Netrebko to open La Scala without Yusif
mainLa Scala today confirmed casting for its season opener on December 7.
Anna Netrebko will sing Tosca, opposite Franceso Melli as Cavaradossi and Luca Salsi as Scarpia.
It is a new production by Davide Livermore. There is, unusually these days, no role for Netrebko’s husband Yusif Eyvazov.
La Scala
is wise to keep hubby off the boards.
Not so sure, Eyvazov uis certainly preferable to Meli.
Good for them, one of them is enough.
What a pity!
I doubt that he would have hired by the “big” houses without Anna.
No doubts . You can be sure
He has. God, you people are a nasty lot. Go get a hobby.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, this seems to BE their hobby!
Cats are a good alternative. They will seem to care just about as much.
I didn’t know she could sing without him there to hold her hand
I hope she will turn up. I am travelling from afar and looking forward to seeing her …
do’n understand why as Yusef is as “good” as Meli
Or at least as mediocre.
At last they have figured out Yusif is a terrible tenor and has only got as far as he has because he is Mr Netrebko. At last La Scala said “No”
“Only the mediocre are always at their best/”
Better yet, it means halfway up the hill.
