-
-
- March 20, 22, 2009
- should have opened its doors

- Faust
- opera in 5 acts by Charles Gounod

|
|
- with maestro Michel Plasson,

- 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
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
-
|
-
|
-
 to
sing here for all these people
- who had come
- from all over the
world
|
|
-
|
|
|
at this beautiful
Teatro Massimo

loved to hear him sing
