OT: “La traviata” at the Metropolitan Opera
Verdi in an odd hat.
Darlings, I am on vacation, and I wish you all Chag Pesach Sameach, Happy Easter, or just “Have a nice day” if you celebrate neither of the above.
I did, however, head uptown to review the Metropolitan Opera’s revival of La traviata for The Classical Review.
Hei-Kyung Hong was a marvelous Violetta, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky was in sensational form.
Back at you soon!
Whatever I’ve heard of Hei Kyung-Hong’s has been lovely, and if there’s some mysterious “star quality” missing, I can’t detect the absence.
