The post scheduled for today, Nov. 19, will be published on Monday, Nov. 22. It will deal with the Met revival of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger, whose cast includes a new Eva (Lise Davidsen) and Pogner (Georg Zeppenfeld), with Michael Volle as Hans Sachs, conducted by Antonio Pappano. I will also take a look at a couple of recent related recordings—Pentatone’s Fidelio under Marek Janowski (with Davidsen as Leonore and Zeppenfeld as Rocco), and Davidsen’s latest operatic recital disc for Decca. Plus thoughts on the work, on singing, and on opera’s efforts to recover and move on. Thanks for your patience.
