Dear Plácido
Please rest. Just sometimes. Cos if you don't, I can't, and *I* need to.
Love Gertxxx
A late reporting review of Il Postino
Domingo was excellent in the role of Neruda, although the lower part of his voice was surprisingly weak, given his recent forays into baritone territory. Catán gives all the main characters aria-like moments, and Domingo’s Neruda starts off with a hymn to his wife’s naked body. In fact, Neruda in the opera comes off as more than a bit self-involved and self-pleased, making Mario’s affection for the famous older man seem just a bit odd and obsessive.
and some reflection on the production when it had finished its run in Los Angeles
