I saw it for the first time last night (it might have been shown several times already), on Great Performances, and *really* enjoyed it. NYCO staged the most romantic love scenes I've ever seen! They didn't forget to act while they were singing! Now, here is my question: does anyone know anything about Jon Garrison? While I enjoy listening to operas, I'm not knowledgable on the subject and have not been a faithful follower of the PBS telecasts. By the way, Jon Garrison played Ruggero in 'La Rondine'. He looked very young, so he should have many years to develop into a great tenor (I have to admit, I was much more taken by his acting than his singing). If you know something about him, send me mail (or postnews if you wish). Thanks. Shu-Ju {decvax, allegra, uw-beaver, ihnp4, ucbvax}!tektronix!videovax!shuju
