Gøy å se tilbake på ting som har skjedd på samme dag for noen år sia! =)
Det virker spennende å dra ut i verden for å se operaer, selv om jeg aldri har sett en opera før i mitt liv. :P God tur! =)

Thank you, Irina for commenting on my blog. Only time I have seen Angela Gheorghiu perform live.

I am just back from Zurich where I saw Elektra with Agnes Baltsa as Klytämnestra and Nabucco with Maria Guleghina as Abigaille.

How great that I found this blog. I knew Angela performed in Verona but I never saw pictures. Thanks for posting them. It's wonderful to travel and see so many beautiful operas.

I haven't seen the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber yet. This was another show where opera arias was given new text to fit into the story.

I seem to recall that Knut Skram and Terje Stensvold alternated as the Dutchman... I'm sure I have the program somewhere... :-)

Hi. I really loved Margareta Hintermeier in Die Walküre.

Until now I have seen 4 Wagner-operas live: Der fliegende Holländer 1989-04-27, Lohengrin 2005-12-03, Parsifal 2002-01-13, Die Walküre 1999-05-13.

I love Parsifal. But I have to admit I am more of a Verdi fan than Wagner.

I see that Hintermeier sings Venus (Tannhäuser), F...

I see that Hintermeier sings Venus (Tannhäuser), Fricka (Das Rheingold and Walküre), Erda (Siegfried), Waltraute (Götterdämmerung), Magdalene (Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg) and Adriano (Rienzi).

She will return to Wiener Staatsoper to sing Heriodias this year, if I'm not mistaken.

1999 - yes, those were the days...

But how can you not like Wagner???
