LOL, I just took a look for any updates on this (“walked out” and “quits,” or “illness or family trouble”?), and was delighted to discover that SD is re-published on the “BonBonLifestyle” robo-news-aggregator. Delightful!
And your point is…?
Maybe it’s the idea of SD as a “bon bon”…?
Saw & heard the première last night. Fasolis was sadly & greatly missed. Zilias saved the performance – alas, there was no glitter, luster or verve, no Italianitá or splendour from the pit. German heaviness, though attentive to the singers.
Does anyone know why Fasolis tossed in the baton?
