Thanks. Not a huge Kaufmann fan so looking forward to seeing this just a bit more now given it closed at the ROH before the performance for which I'd booked...

I bet the ROH are hacked off that they didn't manage to film it with Kaufmann to boost the DVD sales!

Well, I struggled through this on iPlayer. What was Beethoven thinking?
“I know, I’ll put all the B stories in the first half and make them wait for the A story - at which point I’ll inexplicably turn my feisty heroine into an over-emotional wreck and rescue characters that have zero hope of escape from a horrendous situation by...having massive political upheaval happen off-stage that miraculously saves the day.”
I think my GCSE English teacher would have given that a C. If she was feeling kind.
The singing was nice but I didn’t feel like it was anything exceptional...?
