A new Rameau! Nigel, if you are lurking, did you notice that one? 

Nice of you, Siedler, to let us know. Probably find it at MDT, but I had a spot of trouble with them on my last order; very unusual, but nevertheless, it did shake my faith a tad.

They are certainly using the catchpenny method with the Salome. The crits were moderately favourable, but most did not much care for the production. There was an upstairs/downstairs compartmentalised set and the Salome entered different rooms as she divested herself of a veil. Each room held something from her past. Well, that makes it sound quite interesting really. The nude guy was I think someone the director had seen doing a street act outside the opera house....what kind of street act, I wonder about.

Does she ever get down to zero veils?

I don't know but it wouldn't be a bad thing. Nadja Michael seems to be quite a beautiful lady. I have not heard her yeat though, how is she, vocally?

Regarding the aforepictured "La Traviata" disc

The members of this forum are notoriously cheap and penny pinching. That disc is a Blue-Ray Hi Definition disc which will NOT play on ordinary DVD players. So unless it is released on ordinary DVDs, don't bother either praising it or dising it. Nobody will be able to see it.

What an odd statement. Iago seems to think no one on the forum has a Blue-Ray player. Why would he assume that?

Well, if she does go down to zero veils, I suppose any worries about her vocal ability will subside. You can always turn the sound off and put on a separate soundtrack.

Duh, of course there is a simultaneous release on standard DVD.
