Oh blast it, there goes another C note.

I’m very proud of that pun, by the way.
The LA Opera is putting Tamerlano on, with Bejun Mehta and of course Placido Domingo as Bajazet.
I’m aiming for the November 21, 2009 performance, a nice Saturday night one as opposed to the less satisfying 2pm matinee.
The first time I’d heard of the indefatigable Domingo adding Bajazet to his already brimming collection of roles (and at a boggling 67 years old!), it was in an article that mentioned David Daniels as Tamerlano. I visited the LA Opera’s website hoping that Daniels would be in this production as well, but am looking forward to hearing Mehta as he is unfamiliar to me. I’ll have to do a bit of prepping to become more familiar with his voice now.
