he conducts the audience

last night (wednesday), i saw, on the silver screen, 'nabucco,' from la scala -- this has sent me on a...'va, pensiero'...trek

somebody on one of the youtube pages...recommended a muti-led rendition

here's the first one that turned up, with muti...conducting the audience

next, i saw...a little-longer version, with muti...introducing the singing, then...with the full applause, afterwards

finally, i saw a much-longer version...of the whole thing -- it's the encore...that gets muti speaking,...to the audience...and introducing the encore

the scala 'nabucco'...was fantastic, with leo nucci...in the lead -- what can you say about him -- all the principals...were resplendant, especially liudmyla monastyrska, as abigail -- what a powerful instrument she possesses

a year ago, she blew me away, from the first time she opened her mouth, as aida, from the met

i've yet to find a 'pensiero'...from the scala production
