The Interview

Here is an interview with Gone-Ghiu's replacement, Elanie Alvarez, grabbed in what must have been the wee hours of the morning by the unsinkable Opera Chic!

OperaNow! #29: Worst Episode Ever!

It's a great episode, despite the title, many meanderings and technical flaws.

We look at the Met's opening night gala...a slutty Boheme in Washington...and I lose track after that!

This week's show features Oliver Camacho, Jennifer Goode-Cooper (for part of it), Jessie Hinkle and Erin Smith.

AND...just to prevent accusations of slander...here is a link for the article we discuss about a certain mezzo and her (possible former) wild lifestyle.

Gheorghiu is Gone-ghiu

I have the scoop people. Angela Gheorghiu, who was slated to portray Mimi in Lyric Opera Chicago's production of La Boheme opening October 1 has been shit-canned. A press release of some kind is due out Friday..

You heard it here first!!

And now, the day after, here is the story, just like I promised!

Will The Show Go On For Angela???

Could there be trouble for Angela at Lyric? I've heard it through the grapevine that she has been quite difficult for their new Boheme...I guess we'll know for sure on October 1st when the show goes up.

It will be interesting to see what happens with La Batshit (as many listeners have taken to calling her.) I only trust that whatever happens, something will go haywire!

OperaNow! # 28: Johnny Pavarotti!

This week we look at Luciano Pavarotti...and some other crap.

Featuring Brian MacGilvray, Oliver Camacho and Erin Smith.
