Le Nozze di Figaro under Dudamel is live from Berlin on Arte 19.15 Fri 13th via satellite or internet. 1920s seaside resort setting. Promises to be a lively staging, hopefully not overdone. Looking forward to Anna Prohaska as Susanna and Olaf Bär turns up as the gardener.

Certainly worth checking to see how it shapes up. Dorothea Röschmann as the Countess? Ildebrando d'Arcangelo 'promoted' - he sang Bartolo on the VPO recording with Abbado.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
