Hmm, I think Renee was only in great form by the Manon. I thought she was out of sorts for the whole Verdi... but yes, she did a great job considering the variety of roles she had to do.
I however, loved the grey dress - it was perfect for her, but perhaps out of style for the rest of the production.
Funny how everyone who sees it gets different opinions. My mum and Krish thought the Verdi was the best part, and I thought she was lifeless until the Manon.
The Capriccio was one of my favourite opera moments yet, I think. I would love to see the whole thing.
And Hampson as Dracula?!?! PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know for whom Vargas was substituting? They mentioned they got him at the last minute...
