The Vienna Don Carlo is here: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5009115

Yeah Paolo's weird orange outfit that he still wears after the time skip... as if that bitch wouldn't get himself some fancy new robes as soon as he can afford it. And then Simone has decent outfits but then his finale outfit he could jsut wear on the streets today and nobody would notice anything weird.

Sartori is just... the size of about 4 Pavarottis but his voice is nowhere near that level. I've seen him in a Trovatore that also had a ridiculously pretty Luna. Least convincing performance ever.

I've also watched a Boccanegra from '78, excellent cast (like, Cappuccilli, Ghiaurov, Freni) and of course traditional, but everything was just so... brown. Some muted pink here and there but overall colour whomst? It felt like playing unmodded Skyrim. Also that awkward moment when your husband plays your grandfather.

And because there is no such thing as enough Boccanegra, I watched the recent Salzburg broadcast, like wow René Pape Hot and also That Voice. Also Castronovo finally made Adorno something more than a whiny tenor. That boy can act. Salsi also makes a good Simone.
