Compare and Contrast 3

Die Aegyptische Helene is performed at the Met for the first time since the heyday of Maria Jeritza, and there's some disagreement about what's on stage:

• Anthony Tommasini in the Times (it may go into the paid archive at the end of this week)


• Sieglinde's first, second, and third postings (okay, Sieglinde has also posted about Voigt, her size change, etc., but I don't want this getting too cluttered)


• Justin Davidson is here


• Wellsung has a few things to say too
