There are some interesting items in the 2000-1 season announcement from the
Los Angeles Opera:
* Inva ("Fifth Element") Mula as Musetta in the Nov.-Dec. "Boheme"
(with Vaduva and Machado as Mimi and Rodolfo)
* A fascinating "Giulio Cesare" cast next February: Futral, Rasmussen,
Daniels, Mehta! Wow.
* Bayo as Susanna and Arteta as the Countess in January "Nozze"
performances, instead of the other way around.
* The season-opening "Aida" features Voigt, Terentieva, and Jaakko
Ryhaenen.
Other productions: "Cenerentola," "Peter Grimes," "Don Pasquale"
and "Tosca."
