Here’s a moment of comedy for intermission time during this afternoon’s broadcast of Götterdämmerung from the Met. It’s also a sideways reminder that the Canadian Opera Company’s next set of operas includes Gianni Schicchi.
The singer here is New York singer/comedian Elizabeth Tryon, with Mark Janas at the piano. (Deborah Voight is in the audience.)
