| Sebastian Geyer in Dido & Aeneas |
The leads for new barihunks keep coming in from Germany and we're grateful for it, as it has introduced us to some amazing new talent. The latest is Sebastian Geyer who just created a sensation as Aeneas in Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" at the Frankfurt Opera, which was being shown on a double bill with Bartok's "Bluebeard's Castle." The German press hailed Geyer's performance as a "perfect portrayal." You can read a review in the Frankfurt Allgemeiner.

| Sebastian Geyer as Papageno |
Geyer has been regularly cast in Mozart's "Big 3" as Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, Papageno in Die Zauberflote, as well as roles in Don Giovanni. In addition to his performances in Frankfurt, his career has centered around the German cities of Heidelberg, Mannheim and Stuttgart. He has also established himself as a concert performer and sings lieder ranging from Schubert to Wolfgang Rihm.
Geyer is next scheduled to appear in Wagner's rarely performed opera Die Feen in May 2011 at the Oper Frankfurt.

I love your blog, but I really, really, really hate your new font.
ReplyDeleteAs a marketing person, one of the first rules of print is that it must be easy to read. That means reverse type-light color text on a black background-is a HUGE impediment to quicking reading and comprehension, let alone retaining a reader's attention span.
Also, this new font size is just too small.
Just a loyal reader's opnion.
Thanks
