Letters To An Alcoholic Of Encouragement

Cavalleria Rusticana / I Pagliacci - Hamburg State Opera Eugen Onegin

Walter, Walter, Walter Meier hach! I was out of sheer luck so many times before that in the short rail of the orchestra pit to bite because they added my second home, the Hamburg State Opera, paid a visit and sang Santuzza. Since then I Dümpel not just somewhere in other spheres (according to experience this state lasts as about one to two weeks), but also eggs around looking for a suitable description for your vote. In addition to several songs of praise with a tendency to religious, I have tried myself and in the increase of superlatives, but all rejected, and if I do not the rest of the week, month, year, or who knows how long and still want to spend, but I have to this experiment probably draw a line and slow times hit me give simple ... .. One should, however, despite the inherent fatalistic Kitsch said: Everyone should have heard Mrs. Meier in life live. Because, believe me, it sounds even better live than on CD.

Really, really bad is that "Cavalleria Rusticana" only 70 minutes long, and Waltraud Meier therefore after the break and in the second opera "I Pagliacci" is no longer occurred is. This second half is to be honest I also got through just now and then. Anyway, it does me for all other performers of the evening so sorry but I hardly left ear for she had. And I hope - not only in view of politeness - that there's other different was that on the name (Andrzej Dobber, Carl Tanner, Andrew Richards) would otherwise be quite a waste of money the opera box office was. But as I said, love me just stop at Walter always so ready, that I stand completely by my side. When I saw her as Isolde in Berlin, I was then prevented only by a firm handle on my Schlafittchen mind freely run over by a car to be.

Well, the bitter end of each of their songs as always a radical diet for my balance as I am now a few times in the presentation MUST go. As often as well just decide solely my self-discipline - the I, however, at this point not a lot of confidence. And there will soon yes even the two ring-cycles in Hamburg. God, how I should only bring everything under one roof!
