   Hot DARN. I’ve been checking periodically and now I see two theaters here in the Twin Cities!! I’d love to see La Rondine, to see DG again (I saw it last summer) and to see Patricia Racette – I hear hers is a definitive performance in MB. Will these be released on DVD later?

   I didn’t like Rondine, but it is a charming production. I’m very curious about the LA version with Racette that is happening this summer. I’d love to see the Don Giovanni again too! Racette certainly is something in Butterfly, and I don’t even like that opera.
   Gockley seemed to indicate that they might be released on DVD, but I don’t know definitively.

   Yes, it seems they are starting off in smaller movie chains.

   What’s even weirder is the huge gap between the suburbs of the Bay Area (Petaluma and Livermore) and San Diego. That’s most of coastal California. How is my mother in San Luis Obispo going to see me rip off a black veil for my curtain call in “Madama Butterfly,” for crissakes?

   It is odd, hopefully they’ll add more theaters soon. My mother also lives on the coast, though closer to Del Mar than San Luis Obispo is. I wish I had known she had never seen Madama Butterfly before and wanted to so she could have seen it in December.
