But I try to get to most things at ENO.<br /><br />I wasn't sure about the production at the Coliseum but VERY sure about the leading man. If you are in Sydney, go and enjoy yourself!Imogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811393485894960485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883554250280529997.post-67207882305699915272009-06-04T20:05:36.545+01:002009-06-04T20:05:36.545+01:00Scuttlebut around London is that Skelton will retu...Scuttlebut around London is that Skelton will return to ENO as Boris in Kat'a Kabanova with Patricia Racette in 2010 and in the Lehnhof production of Parsifal (where I assume he sings the title role) in 2011. <br /><br />Other rumours I've heard include new Parsifals in Zurich and Seattle (where his website shows he is currently, for the Seattle Ring) and appearances at the MET in Wozzeck and Walkuere.<br /><br />I missed the Grimes in London, but if the reviews are anything to go by (and they're not ALWAYS!) the Grimes in Sydney is something to look forward to.Intheknowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791920593951861615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883554250280529997.post-69200648015879833562009-05-31T01:07:48.099+01:002009-05-31T01:07:48.099+01:00Own, a two edged sword.

Lucky you - a visit to my aunt in Sydney is sadly way beyond the holiday budget a Kew salary stretches too. <br />Wonder when he'll do Tristan?Imogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811393485894960485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883554250280529997.post-1385671277402774082009-05-27T11:39:28.612+01:002009-05-27T11:39:28.612+01:00Skelton's 2004 Siegmund was captured, in SACD what...Skelton's 2004 Siegmund was captured, in SACD whatsmore, by <A HREF="http://www.melbarecordings.com.au/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,12/category_id,1/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,64/" REL="nofollow">Melba Recodings</A>.
