Her performance at the Saturday matinee premiere today was the stuff of legend, and the ovation she received at the end rivaled the historic ovation for Gwyneth Jones in "Elektra" at the San Francisco Opera in the early 1990s. Incidentally, Jovanovich as Pinkerton had an extraordinary debut.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-85985638565959133572007-12-01T07:22:00.000-08:002007-12-01T07:22:00.000-08:00I think that the typewriter is somehow connected w...I think that the typewriter is somehow connected with the letters that Lady M reads, and those enigmatic 'missing' posters (which can only be really seen on the Operavision screen).sfphoneguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783633082905484323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-22516748550735637822007-11-30T15:37:00.000-08:002007-11-30T15:37:00.000-08:00If anybody can untangle the mystery of the neon gr...If anybody can untangle the mystery of the neon green typewriter, it will definitely be you, Patrick.

My standard is still Victoria De Los Angeles; I heard in in person back in my youth (so many years ago) and still have the ancient Angel LPs with Jussi Bjoerling.
