Everybody does Händel

Our favourite Ildebrando has joined the label Deutsche Grammophon as a solo-artist, and already signed a contract (details here) with DG.
And the result is: a Händel CD will come out in late August - "including selections from Agrippina, Ariodante, Giulio Cesare, Orlando, Rodelinda, and Serse".
(And later, to make more money, they will release a Mozart album as well.)

So if you are not into the tenor-thing, after Rolando's tenor-selection of Händel you can listen to Ildebrando's beautiful dark voice....

Here you are the cover



And if this is not enough, HERE you can find some photoshopped pics of him.... As you could see it on the cd-cover as well... But he does not look like this!!!! Anyway - waiting for the cd to come out...

The Queen of all Wagner Operas...

... in a very bad photo made by me with my phone.

YESS. She is the beautiful and wonderful Waltraud Meier.

I want him in MY shower. Right now.

I know that my blog is already full of men but this footage is essential.

Some follow up.

I was really busy during the last 2 months, so there was no blog-post. Although I twittered or tweeted (I'm not sure about this new words...) about Cecilia's concerts (you can find me on twitter @AskMeAboutOpera).
I also participated at TheOmniscientMussel's operaplot competition - I didn't win - awwwww how sad - but I think I did really funny stuff... - unfortunately I just had 2 hours to write something and then I produced 3 or 4 entries which was a big effort from my part I think...
Then I was forced (no, actually I wasn't) to work with a loooooot of horses, and I did some weddingsinger stuff as well. And now I'm back.
