His first Wagner, probably at the Met, will be the comparatively light role of Wolfram in Tannhauser, with its lyrical ode to the evening star -- cat's cream to a baritone with Terfel's plush tone...
...tourists to the outskirts of the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo and lets them spy on troop movements -- cocktails and binoculars included. TRD Caribe, the newest arm of Gaviota, is the fastest-growing chain of department stores. TRD, appropriately enough, stands for tienda recaudacion en divisas -- literally, "store to rake in the dollars...
