I always wathcning this great Mezzosoprano from Sweden. An fenomenal and good Artist in both a Lyric and “Clowny” way of expression… With mutch and deep Professionality and joy deep from heart. Shes give it for 200%… Every Performance or on an Opera stage… Good-Great-Generosity…
Conducting with headphones, now that’s interesting…
It’s absolutely normal during a recording session
Really? Is it? I mean, for something with “click” like a videogame music – ok, but why in opera?
Conductor does look a bit crazy.
Last time they played it he asked musicians to stand up all the way during rehearsals. I feel good they are being seated now. But then I’m thinking – it’s probably the noise issue, not him being more considerate.
