I found myself wanting to agree with your post Caio, but I don't think that
his interest, charity and support of lesser fortunate groups is just token.
I think he definitely helps. The tickets for his performance were very
cheap when he came to Brisbane. A lot of people got to see a great operatic
performance that night.
He is intent on bringing opera to the masses. And he does it well. When
you say he over charges, you're forgetting that Tibor Rudas is the one who
sets the prices. Pav gets an upfront fee, and Rudas takes care of everything
else. And it's not as if he charges that much. I think the prices are
worth it. Opera being expensive is an over-rated cliche. When I was in
Vienna at the beginning of the year, I went to see Linda di Chamounix with
Edita Gruberova at the Vienna Staadt Opera house for the equivalent of 6
Australian dollars!!!
>He may not be a great singer anymore, but he's still
>a great businessman!
Rudas is the businessman, not Pav. If you were as wealthy as Pav, you too
would spend your energies helping out the less fortunate. His philadelphia
vocal competitions are an example. The guy's not a saint, but he does help
and crosses a lot of borders- remember, he's under no obligation whatsoever
to help. A lot opera singers i believe would be too po-faced and serious to
sing with people like Bryan Adams and Ricky Martin. They would think it was
beneath them or something. I'm glad Pav sang with the spice girls. It's
good for music.
>why do people, mostly on the list, criticize pop singers so often while
>opera singers do also have their bad nights, bad repeated nights, bad over
>and over again nights...
Weren't you the one who was saying Cobain lacks technique? I like a lot of
pop singers.
All singers have bad nights.
Anyway, I'm sorry we don't always see eye to eye Caio. But i just had to
speak my mind. :)
