I was cringing in anticipation of what I have been reading. But at least last night I found that there was only a bit of booing mixed in with mostly applause. I found it complimentary, as Secco himself says. I found it to be playful audience participation. And to be honest I have heard it before with a much loved Seattle singer, Greer Grimsley. I forget what role he was in but he smiled through it all understanding the humor; and again it was mixed with enthusiastic applause. I think because Secco is a foreigner and new to Seattle it comes across as rude. And again it was very subdued last night.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522031382886185747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630356600537382212.post-70411072963754872732012-05-19T20:13:25.290-07:002012-05-19T20:13:25.290-07:00If we boo Pinkerton-the-bad guy, then for consiste...If we boo Pinkerton-the-bad guy, then for consistency we should start booing all the other villains in Opera.<br />There are many...(a few women too):<br />Scarpia, Conte di Luna, Iago, the Queen of the Night, Turandot (since she's so cruel for most of the opera), father Germont (I don't like him - he ruined a wonderful love story), Lulu, Mephistopheles, Don Giovanni, Don Jose (remember, he kills Carmen - don't we care?).<br />Since when was Opera about cheering the good girl and booing the bad guy? I always thought it was, first of all, about applauding the amazing voices & the great music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630356600537382212.post-35898728833177064642012-05-18T15:23:20.716-07:002012-05-18T15:23:20.716-07:00People who boo Pinkerton should also boo Jago(with...People who boo Pinkerton should also boo Jago(with more reason)<br />I believe booing Pinkerton has become a fad among those who believe<br />in public participation.<br />It send the wrong message to the singers.After all, we attend a <br />performance to<br />appraise the musicians not the characters of the plot.<br />I wonder if a similar "booing Pinkerton syndrome" has also appeared in <br />another country<br />than ours.<br /><br />Miguel de VirgilioMiguel de Virgilionoreply@blogger.com
