Hmmmph. That's too bad. Though yeah, I've seen little clips of the Tempest that look kind of, ummmmm. I can see his acting not shining through, is all I'm saying.

*makes notes* I'll look them up! I've also crushed hard on Ileana Cotrubas after seeing her in my DVD of Figaro. And I will always have a massive crush THIS BIG on Ian Bostridge (though I think of him as more of an oratorio guy, he doesn't really have what I think of as an operatic voice).
