For the four people who know opera:

Roberto Alagna walking off stage due to boos and his cover replacing him in a shirt and jeans.

Sheesh, that wasn't that bad.

Yes, he's a big pansy ass.

He and wife also think that they are exacting a giant punishment on the opera world by withdrawing from their engagements at La Scala.

They just don't get it. Their departure won't even be noticed.

Alagna: you just aren't that good, and never have been. You're just the husband of

Gheorgiu: you aren't that great either, and now there's Netrebko, who sings all your rep and kinda looks like you BUT she's younger, thinner, much much prettier, and sings better than you.

They both need to get a fucking grip. They've been presenting themselves as completely indispensible to opera for years ("When people come to see Angela, they come to dream!"), and I'm glad the curtain's finally coming down on them.

NONE of us are indispensible. As a matter of fact, we are fucking disposable...and the trash man makes regular rounds.

Yes, apparently he is a dick (that makes sense, he's french). But the upper balcony audience are NOTORIOUSLY rude and harsh. He should have known this. They weren't the people paying the good money to see show, the people who clapped (mostly politely) were. He's just a drama queen.

What a fucking idiot.

And I love his bogus "blood sugar" excuse three days after he gave all his other excuses. (which makes it worse for those of us who do have legitimate blood sugar issues.)

Did he learn nothing from Kathleen Battle? Does anyone miss her? um, no . . .
