The Opera Tattler sat in on a piano dress rehearsal of San Francisco Opera's La fille du régiment last night. Without going into any details, it was very instructive to watch how it all comes together, not to mention hilarious. Diana Damrau and Juan Diego Flórez are absurdly cute. Can't wait to hear Flórez hit those high C's at next Tuesday's opening.

    Did you happen to notice if the tank at the end almost rolled into some chorus members? I wasn’t there, but that’s what I heard…

    I did see that! It was a lot of madness, and very interesting to watch. The chorus is so talented, I can’t understand how they can do so much choreography and still sing well.

    I can’t wait to see those 2 in La Fille at the Met in Feb 2010.

    Even I am excited, and I don’t even like bel canto.
