Let’s hope he doesn’t die before lmaooo
It is not about Domingo. The performances is going well. It is about technical issue with streaming platform.
I saw this recording last friday through the Vienna Opera web site and Mr. Domingo’s performance was not good at all. It was evident he had doubts with his lines, specially in the opera’s last act. So I think the problem was in fact with him.
More time to rehearse
Maybe they’re expecting a huge traffic jam??
When the performance became available at 8:30 CET, the final curtain calls were already available at the end of the 2:51 stream slider.
TROUBLE WITH DOMINGO’S VIENNA NABUCCO
The trouble with it is that it has been merely pushed back instead of cancelled altogether.
Having watched it ,eventually, I’m not surprised.
Time to call it a day !
Yup, that was odd. First to 20:00, then to 20:30 and without saying “hello, this has been moved”. And with that little staging could have done concertante instead. Beautiful music in this opera, for example the act 1 trio.
Well done Vienna for sreaming this performance at this challenging time – courageous and uplifting. Not the last word in staging or singing perhaps but much to admire, and Placido’s performance on its own terms was still remarkable for anyone on their 80th birthday. Anna Pirozzi was fearless too!
