Opera di Roma Discovers The Motive Behind Otello's Madness: Bewbs

This coming Saturday, one day before la Scala opens their season with Don Carlo conducted by Daniele Gatti, Otello opens Teatro dell'Opera di Roma under Riccardo Muti's merciless baton: in the Roma cast, Marina Poplavskaya (Desdemona) and Aleksandrs Antonenko (Otello), Barbara Di Castri (Emilia), Giovanni Meoni (Jago).

I've been looking forward to this since I got my tickets last January - I know I really need a life. Still have one unclaimed ticket now that Parsi decided that Munich was more exciting than Rome.

Verdi AND Muti? In Rome? Red meat for opera lovers! Lucky you!

Pray for the orchestra not to cover the singers the way it happened in Salzburg and everybody was disappointed. Of course it was the maestro's disposition behind it all! Now, four months later has he calmed down or is he still outraged?

Hopefully he`s calmed down...he`s truly is a great musician....sometimes I think he gets carried away and shows his hot blooded Italian ways...

Dear Ms. Chic,

What's this obsession with bewbs? True, many men never make it past the Freudian oral stage with its fixation on large milk rich mammaries, thus the common fixation on bewbs by sports fans ... but at least they got through that nasty early very pregenital anal stage.

Where are the men in your life who made it all the way to the golden prize, the genital stage???
