I can't get over how cute Damrau is in this role....and then to see her in the Magic Flute and she scares me to death!

Thanks for posting the whole production...it really made my day to see Thomas Allen still in excellent voice and tone. =D

[miesermogelvogel]

Great God that's wonderful!!

[Transoxiana94]

Allen`s voice seems not to have lost a bit of its previous beauty. And I loved when he came in the two bags :D

@schweitzer006325 Still groping ladies, too. :P

I love Thomas Allen as Forester in The Cunning Little Vixen by Janáček, Damrau is my favorite soprano. The whole production is fantastic, bravi tutti!

I know! Diana Damrau is such a good actress! and im well impressed by Angelika Kirchschlager as well although not heard of her before...

[dacatholicbandorgan]
