Christine Brewer is not only a talented singer, a tolerant woman (she didn't kill the criminally insane costume designer of this most unfortunate production, and who wouldn't have, seriously) but she can also be basically omnipresent: first she replaced Opera Chic's beloved Renèe Fleming (@ the gala of the first Festival del Sole in the Napa Valley), Deborah Voigt (Beethoven's Missa Solemnis with our Jimbo Levine and the BSO) and now she's going to sub for Karita Mattila, again with Levine and the BSO, in Fidelio.
We were seriously thinking to hire an intern to sub for us during the Easter holidays (Opera Chic is going to Cortina d'Ampezzo and you're not), but we're thinking of calling La Brewer instead.
