Vladimir Grishko has announced that he’s leaving his native land ‘for the next 25 years’, to live in New York, where he has bought an apartment. It’s a no-brainer, he told local media. In America, you can get $15,000 a concert….
Grishko has sung Rodolfo, Pinkerton and other roles at the Met.
Here’s what goes on back home:
electronically amplified singing, and heavily-altered music engineered for a wider appeal? he’ll do just fine here in the US.
Grishko is an excellent tenor, and a great performer. Prepare to eat your words!
I’m just watching that great ‘opera singer’ Katherine Jenkins on Sky Arts. A lovely Welsh girl, I’m sure, but she shouldn’t be allowed to murder ‘Carmen’ on her show. I wake up sweating with the thought that Bryn will end his career singing Andrew Lloyd Webber with her!
What I can’t ever understand is that most of what we hear today at the Met and other places is out-of-tune singing. This example being no different as his pitch is all over the place. $15,000 a performance they should demand more for the price they are paying. It’s appalling to say the least.
he’s right….fleeeeeeeeee!
There is a mistake with the commas for his fee!!!!! US is welcome…
