Will probably be her first task after her maternity go away. It’s a job she has clearly been heading for ever since she first got here to worldwide discover at Operalia 10 years in the past, and following her Paris Salome with extra Isoldes scheduled on the Met and Brünnhilde undoubtedly occurring simply over the horizon, it feels as if she is lastly doing what everybody anticipated of her. Personally I hope she doesn’t drop Verdi and certainly continues so as to add Italian roles. But when she delivers as Isolde how I feel she’s going to, there’s little doubt it’s going to really feel like an arrival and the start of the prime years of a extremely nice singer.
Scott Grunow agrees:
I’m trying ahead to Tristan und Isolde with Lise Davidsen in March 2026. I’m planning to fly in once more to NYC and meet up with fellow Parterrians once more on the Millo Pole. The final time I noticed Tristan was on the LOC with Jane Eaglen (she was on the peak of her not inconsiderable finest vocally, although the Liebestod lacked heat; Michelle De Younger was Brangaene; I don’t bear in mind the Tristan). I went in leather-based with my then present “paramour” (additionally in leather-based) and we did put our fingers on one another’s legs throughout sure moments, nothing too frisky, a lot to the chagrin of a dowdy outdated grumpy gus sitting subsequent to us. (Chicago has a world-class classical music scene, however the total atmosphere I discover to be dowdy and provincial, sure, I’m a bit snob. It ain’t shiny lights and Broadway round right here.)
