Opera Chic is in Rome and therefore she has no idea about what went down earlier tonight at Scala, but ANSA news agency is reporting that singers performances were well-received, and even Luc Bondy's "Tosca" staging received applause; the one who got booing mixed in with the applause was conductor Omer Meir Wellber, Daniel Barenboim's protege.
The problem here is that the Met's audience seems to be even more wary of innovation than good old dusty la Scala. New York's fiasco is Milan's, well, just another cranky night at la Scala.
