@thallassocracy Low notes...? The timbro il of a baritone. No comments regarding the diction.

You can't actually put a baby on stage:- he wouldn't be able to hit the low notes.
This is the next best thing - Monteverdi would have loved the idea.

I know L'Umana is Fragilità but this one is rather underpowered, no? That said, cool staging!

Presenting Fragilita naked is a very trivial concept, isn't it?
