OH GOD, you know how much I adored Lee. How talented and hot, right? The three of them totally sold that ridiculous ending, this must be the best Trovatore ever <3
And of course I have seen this lovely Don Carlo somewhere before ;) But, coming off my Met backstage tour (wherein I ate in the staff canteen, even!), I did a little squee to see Alagna rush around backstage between Acts 3 and 4, because I recognised those characteristic weird blocky corridors! And we got to see him drill his final very choreographed fight scene with the fight master and the soldiers, which is consistent with how choreographed Simon (and everyone) was in this production? Speaking of which, I fell in love with his Restate again, and I forgot how amazing that death scene was <3
