    Oh good. Now he, for a change, can hire and retain his better half, in all their gaudy splendor.

  • Capriccio says:

    Long life to Armenia

  • Anthony Sayer says:

    And why not. What the hell, good for him.

  • Has-been says:

    I wish him good luck !

  • Will says:

    Maybe now we won’t have to hear him bleat onstage any more.

    • Lina Alexander says:

      Oh, so this is what he has been doing? Isn’t it odd he has been invited to perform at so many great opera houses over the years. I always thought opera lovers to be people of culture, how wrong.

  • IP says:

    Dressed, too.

  • Cantantelirico says:

    Smart move. He won’t be hired at the Met ever again that’s for true.

  • IntBaritone says:

    someone teach that man how to tie a tie.
