...anyway, as I was saying... We leave this place, bags in tow, Heidegger in our hip-pockets, and who sweeps in to fill our vacuum but all these old people? This year, they did so to an old-style British "Panto," a comical take on the fairy tale "Cinderella"; a traditional "St. George and the Dragon" mummers play; lots of familiar carols and rounds, including the ceremonial "Boar's Head Carol" from Oxford; Susan Cooper's classic solstice poem "The Shortest Day" and a spectacular rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" you'll never forget.

But even though Cura and Alvarez definitely have the potential to make it big, neither is quite ready to fill the king-size shoes of the Old Guard. Bel Canto (Sony Classical), Alvarez's first CD, is promising but not yet the work of a mature artist, while Cura can be heard in Puccini: Arias (Erato), a handsomely sung recital conducted by Domingo that reveals Cura's blind spot...
