hmmm, Ethiopian State Opera seeks extremely starving cast members for Aida?
How is a joke about famine funny? Truly tasteless and mean.
Thanks so much for the picture of the Falstaff can!
It was the beer that my dad used to drink. The brewery’s been out of business for years.
Long-time San Franciscans will well remember the big illuminated beer glass by the freeway that endlessly kept emptying and refilling. I can’t recall now whether the sign advertised Falstaff or Hamm’s. Both brands are long gone.
Can’t they add padding under the costumes?
It’s a Bieito production. There will be no costumes.
Isn’t just about any opera singer qualified? Who is on the short list of “in shaped”?
I envision the problem being solved with a Transatlantic charter flight.
