Today we’re listening to…“In quelle trine morbide,” a soprano aria from Act II of the four-act Italian opera Manon Lescaut by Giacomo Puccini. As I mentioned on Wednesday, we are moving to more formalized themes on Monday, so I decided I would take my last opportunity to go rogue and bring back
Saw Leontyne Price do MANON LESCAUT in a dreadful 1949 production at The Met about 1980. She made the best of it in a production that had become threadbare over 31 years. The Met has rough nights like this not to mention Martin Rich conducting TOSCA in 1970.
Beautiful

Who you might ask was he ?

Rich was a substitute on house staff.
I could listen to the intermezzo every day and not tire of it.
