Who’s singing Monostatos?
It’s been too long…I wish him a great success.
The “family friendly version” is so cut-to-shreads and the role of Papageno so light that he can’t do much damage even in his present vocal condition. Plus he is an effective comedian.
If Villazon is Papageno he will be playing magic chiming bells, not tootling a magic flute.
