At LaScala I was fortunate to have heard Claudio Desderi in rehearsal in the David Hockney production that has toured the world. Claudio was worried about his English in the Graveyard Aria, I assured him it was penetrating and unforgettable. Anne has a petite part by comparison.

OEDEPUS REX has a thrilling recording with Colin Davis conducting Shirley Verrett and John Gielgud.

It was done at City Opera in a poor production and at The Met which I did not see.

THIS RECORDING SPRINGS IT TO LIFE.

Confess I have never heard this opera and based on this performance I must get a recording and give it a listen. Thanks you.
