    I’m glad to see that the Saariaho opera is being performed. Though a somewhat static affair, it was very well received when I saw it in Santa Fe close to ten years ago.

    FYI, dear OT, but it looks like “Tales of Hoffmann” appears in place of “La Cenerentola” at the COC Website.

    Yes! “L’amour de Loin”! I was totally broke when it was done in Santa Fe, no way am I missing this in Toronto. Hopefully the scheduling gods will smile on me and I can catch a Maple Leafs game on the same trip as well….
    I know why it’s being done this way (ticket sales) but why pair the awesome “Eine Florentinische Tragodie” with the fluff that is “Gianni Schicci”, Zemlinsky already wrote the companion opera, “Der Zwerg”.
    Thanks for the info, OT!
