An ingenious Aida at the Metropolitan Opera
On New Year’s Eve, the Met replaced that staging with a new production from Michael Mayer, one that blows away the stuffiness and has an ingenious take on how to treat an opera that time has pushed to a distance from our contemporary experiences.
Blue and Kutasi were a superb pair of antagonists. Along with a beautiful sound, Blue is an expressive Verdi singer with an understated manner. She doesn’t chew the scenery, she shapes phrases to their emotional point. This brought out all the conflicted meanings in “Ritorna vincitor!” and also evoked believable affection and peace while facing death in the final duet with Radamès, “Invan! Tutto è finito.”

Some thrills and a bit of a chill in Lise Davidsen's Tosca at the Met
☆☆☆☆
But oh Lord, the voice! Not since Birgit Nilsson and Joan Sutherland, both of whom I heard often at the Met, have I heard such volume and such opulence.
Newly appointed chorus director Tilman Michael proved himself more than a worthy successor to Donald Palumbo; and the Met Orchestra, horns and all, had a great evening.
