I sang in a production of Lucia once for CGO. We had the same thing happen. One of the main singers got sick and we had to have someone come in and sing from the pit while the singer (who lost his voice) acted the part out. It was very awkward.
Hello,
I’m happy to announce you the launch of Classissima (in January), a collaborative website dedicated to classical music and opera (in English, French, Spanish, Italian and, coming soon, in German). Its point of view ? Internet must serve diversity of classical music and opera (we are not an classical music actor … but a french management consultant company !).
Take a moment to visit Classissima. You will discover that Classissima’s vocation is to integrate contents, for classic music lovers, giving them access to many resources (news, forums, blogs, websites, videos,…).
We have chosen your blog for its quality and regular activity. It is presented in the news section (blogs part) : http://www.classissima.com/eng/news/look/03Blogs/
I hope that you’ll like Classissima. If you think Classissima is a good initiative, feel free to add a simple link from your blog to Classissima. It could help us to gain in visibility … on the huge anglo-saxon web ;-).
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Laurent Houmeau
NB : do not hesitate to give me your feedback on Classissima.
Boys - opening night?
Don't let me down.
