At the interval at Butterfly tonight a couple next to me AND a couple behind me left because they didn't know it would be in English lol "Did you know?" "Wasn't expecting that" "Did you see anywhere it said it was in English?" I wonder how often this happens at the ENO If only Covent Garden would go back to their old, circa 1847, name of Royal Italian Opera Company all confusion would be ended.

Saw ENO's Madam Buttefly on Friday. Roderick Williams (Sharpless) and Stephanie Windsor-Lewis (Suzuki) were very pleasing in their supporting roles. But Welsh soprano Natalya Romaniw as Butterfly was absolutely stunning. She has been hailed by many as the next Callas or Netrebko. From Friday's wonderful performance, I would say that this is where she is definitely heading. What a voice!
