My Daughter doesn't love Strauss

This morning I started the day sipping coffee and checking out the Met Player, the online site where you can stream archive and new (and also HD!) performances that were filmed live.

I watched the three sample clips and my 19-month old daughter immediately hopped up on my lap to watch.

Juan Diego Florez singing "Ah mes amis"? She signed for "more please."
Roberto Alagna and Angela Ghiorghiu in a scene from Puccini's La Rondine? Again, "more please."
The Presentation of the Rose from Rosenkavalier? Alas... she checked out.

I'm going to give her a bit more time to grow into it.

That being said, does anyone use it? What do you think? Please post in comments or shoot me an email or message on FB!

Thanks!

New Fan Page

As I continue to expand and improve both my website, www.eapenleubner.com, and Tenor Eleven Miles Away, I've finally bit the bullet and added a Page on Facebook. You can become a fan by clicking on the link:

Facebook is a great way to keep up with my work. I've posted two clips from our recent Don Giovanni production and I've synched the blog to post on Facebook when I update.

There are some other projects coming down the pike so keep your eyes peeled!

Cheers,

Eapen

Greetings from LARS- the Large Animal Research Station.

We saw our first musk ox, a spicies that was once local to the area (prior to the ice age) and recently reintroduced from Iceland. They are some seriously cool creatures.

Hospitality

In addition to our gracious host family that has allowed us to invade their pool house for just over three weeks, their son-in-law stopped by the other day with a package of moose hot dogs for us. He had heard me raving about my first taste of moose at a cast party and thoght I might enjoy another sample. He is going to bring some moose chunks over next week!
