Scotto partners Domingo, Shicoff, and Aragall in earlier performances
of this run. Aragall may have skipped out because it was Christmas
eve, but the previous Boheme on the 19th marks his farewell to the Met
(38 performances over 12 years)? The main distinction is Mitchell’s
Musetta in her only run of the part. There are worse Boheme casts, and
interesting that Conlon is still around today, though mostly in Los
Angeles these days. Conlon’s Met service to date spans 39 years and
280 performances, most recently last season’s revival of
Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of the Mtensk District with Eva Maria Westbroek for it.”
