If you usually sing L elissir d amore from Donizetti plese try and keep away from Mexican tenor Rolando V.He s always moving around and gesturing like mad and he literally fucked Una furtiva lagrima when playing it with Nebretko.He let the whole finale sink because he lacked concentration and mixed up the words.Pavarottis favourite aria.At the end of it he gave the conductor a long sad look With that only look he could have sung the whole aria.I think you can't be a tenor and a scene director at the same time... And keep in mind you don't have to cross the Atlantic to see squirrels.I live in the North of Spain and I watch the sea,play with squirrels and see usually wild boars and deers.Sheer paradise... And tell your brother that when you sing well it's great to have a potent voice a high pitched voice.A voice that fills the whole theatre...
