.... where the film comes from. This is due to be release mid December but there are few advance details. I have a film of that opera on tape which was recorded in Taiwan some years ago, I think by Zeferelli, who was adament the actors should fill the roles appropriately so there is a small, delicate lady playing Butterfly. The forthcoming film has Netrebco in that starring role so I guess she will also star but mime. A documentary starring her used this technique and it was a no 1 disappontment for me with poor synch and far too much gimmeckry.

Inappropriate casting works both ways. The recent BD Handel "Giulio Cesare" had the title role sung by a very small framed lady who stetched the imagination depicting a fighting general. Lovely voice, but ....
