I loved Herodiade by Massenet with Agnes Baltsa & José Cura. Don Carlo in Vienna with Cura was great. Carmen and La Traviata in Verona with Cura was wonderful. Loved the concert with Cura in Munich. Almost broke my arm in Vienna before Tosca with Cura so I did not enjoy that one. Cav/Pag in Hamburg was good, very interesting, Cura conducted Cav and sang Pag.
