Minor correction to "Idiot" post
Antonio Pappano is not conducting the June performances of Le Nozze di Figaro - Sir Colin Davis is. Of course, he's not exactly chopped liver, and I've never heard him conduct an opera (unless you want to count the Verdi Requiem as one - I heard him conduct that twice). Tony is conducting the January and February performances, and according to the reviews I've been reading, he's playing the harpsichord continuo as well (I wonder if Sir Colin will do the same?). David McVicar's production, updated to the 1830s (which is when Les Miserables takes place) does look interesting. Pity I won't get to see it, at least this year, without a miracle. The later Tosca performances are now almost sold out.

It is due to be shown on the TV, hopefully in April. It was supposed to be this past Saturday but got edged out by the Winter Olympics. We asked Gerry Finley last week whether it was definitely going to be on in April and he seemed a bit vague.
If it is shown, it should get to DVD, although who knows. I have heard opinions that Daisy won't be doing the harpsichord continuo.

Uh, Gert, by "Daisy", do you indeed mean Sir Colin?
