Just now listening to Act One from earlier today – i was so busy at work that i had only been listening with one ear to make sure it was going well – and now that its on the LISTEN AGAIN BBC PROMS player (although there had been such talk about not, maybe its just a REbroadcast they couldnt do) anyway, who cares? 

I am in awe – and at times like this there is a loss of words – except to say that each and everyone of youwho  were in attendance must be very thankful.  what passion, what glory, what MUSIC – and this is just Act One – Meier sounds as if she will fling herself off the very stage thru her exclamations of love – and Domingo, God bless him, so RIGHT for this role!

And now Act One has just concluded (in my listening) and what a ROAR – and I silently add mine here in hot nyc.

On to home (for this act is what helped me get thru the last hour of a very long day).  And on to Act Two.

I did hear Act Three late this afternoon – and cant wait to listen again to Bryn’s Wotan with Ms Gasteen’s Brunhilde (quite a VERY good one i think).

sigh – but this is what keeps us mere mortals going right?
