What a wonderful review! Thank you so much Gudrun, for your translation – SO much better than Google Translate!! The translations that service offers are usually harder to understand than the original language! I once read a Chinese review in which Google Translate had Simon’s name as Keenly Oceanside!!!

Hi, here is the work of a hot afternoon, a rough translation of the Italian review. It seems Simon was a really good “bad guy” as Giorgio Germont 😉

Hello SK team,

Seen and International has a review of Traviata at BSO last Tuesday.
http://www.seenandheard-international.com/2013/07/12/munich-opera-festival-2013-highlights-verdi-and-wagner/

The review gave us nothing new about Simon’s performance, but one of my opera friends saw it and e-mailed to me, saying that Simon looked rather tired. I thought it was because of his interpretation/characterization, though. Petra, assuming you were there, I wonder what you think about Simon’s Germont.

Cheers
Kew
