Saw Orfeo@ the MET
A few things about that:
Stephanie Blythe makes the part sound easy.
I have not yet read the liner notes, now I have; What was the significance of the historical characters? Onlookers in a timeless tale?
Felt to have caught some of what Said wrote about about Met Opera not having "a" defined operatic style. Wagner sounds Werdi; Gluck sounds like Mozart and Offenbach. But it was put on well. Blythe sings! Morris adds color in fashion.
Felt a disconnect between the Met Orchestra and engaged music making.'twasn't...I don't know, grooving, "no tenia swing" as Sinuhé would say.
Sounded great warming up, tho.
