I hate it when stars like Opolais and Kaufmann (and others !) claim the whims of artists like Calles and di Stefano, and allows themselves to cancel performances because of that. I also don't like singers like Kaufmann who study new roles, claim the first performance, especially when it is broadcast, make the recording and the dvd, and then leave the following performances to others, thus cheating on their public, or call in ill but at the same time perform in other theatres such as Viennna, or Baden Baden, or Paris, or London, because they are better paid there !

By the way, I still don't like the projected Salomé by Netrebko. Why hasn't the Met contacted Marlis Petersen for that role ? She has got both the voice, the looks and the dramatic talent for it ! And she pronounces clearly, whereas Netrebko's German..., well ?
