I think this is still the production from the 70 &, 80s when Marilyn Horne sang. I saw it a couple of times back then and liked it. Somehow I missed it when Juan Diego Florez sang several years ago. I was looking forward to hearing Levine conduct. The '81 broadcast of Italiana, which he conducted, is one my favorites.

Yes, Levine conducted it very well last Saturday when I saw it. I’m very sad that his activities have been curtailed. I saw the new production of Tristan and was disappointed - maybe because I remember how Levine did it sixteen years ago, which was absolutely breathtaking.

I’m going to see Guillaume Tell this Wednesday and also at the Saturday matinee on Nov. 12th. Hope all goes well.
