We're happy to report the unstoppable state of unholy domination that has been rapidly reached by Elaine Alvarez, the young soprano who came, saw, and won La Bohéme at Chicago Lyric Opera after a General Manager not to be messed with had rightly fired Angela Gheorghiu's capricious a$$: less than a month after her Chicago triumph, La Alvarez will replace this coming Tuesday, at Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, ailing Anne Schwanewilms in a recital. La Alvarez will lay down teh ownage on songs by Stenhammar, Sibelius, Liszt, Strauss and Bo Linde.
Thomas Bagwell will rawk the piano keys.
