Rerun of Anna Bolena

I wanted to see Anna Bolena again so I could catch Anna Netrebko clowning around behind Renée Fleming.  Her countryman Ildar Abdrazakov started it and egged Anna on.  In an opera that is so strenuous it is nice to see them able to relax in the intermission.  Tristan is maybe harder than this.  Only just maybe.

In her interview before the opera Anna said she based her portrayal on "Tudors."  I assume this means the TV series The Tudors.  "Don't tell the director."

I enjoyed it again the second time and stayed awake all the way to the end.  I like popcorn at the opera.
