I saw it on DVD a couple of weeks ago, and those gilded chairs look like they've been brought directly from the Palais Garnier. <br /><br />So you say Bartoli's charisma does miracles live? In the recordings, I always end up seeing the same tone (excited, manic, girly). Though I love those clips where you see her vocal cords taking over the running of the entire body: freakish in the best possible way. Kind of "oh what the hell, I'll let them do whatever they want until the end of this aria".<br /><br />Good news about the Whitsun.
