-
- Teatro Massimo, Palermo, Sicily, Italy
-
-
- March 20, 22, 2009
- should have opened its doors

- for
- Faust
- opera in 5 acts by Charles Gounod
|
- everything was done to make it
happen:
|
|
- rehearsals
|
|
- with maestro Michel Plasson,
- the Orchestra and Chorus of
the Teatro Massimo,
- Roberto Scandiuzzi as
Mephisto,
- J.-F. Lapointe as Valentin,
|

Marguerite, Elena Belfiore as Siebel,
- Doris Lamprecht as
Marthe and Richard Rittlemann as Wagner,
|
|
|
- additional single voice
rehearsals with Maestro Plasson,
|
|
- also time to relax in between
...
|
|
 |
- ...so one could
-
- happily,
- - maybe a little tired -
- but optimistically,
-
-
-
-
-
|
|
|
 |
also seriously |
 |
|
look forward to this
extraordinary event in the splendid Teatro Massimo.
|
|
- but the doors remained closed
and seats remained empty
|
|

- no
|
|
|
- Andrea Bocelli would
have loved
-
|
-
|
-
|
-
|
-
to
sing here for all these people
- who had come
- from all over the
world
|
|
-
|
|
at this beautiful
Teatro Massimo
...

- So good-bye to
Palermo and its splendid theatre
|
|
- instead....
