Tony Award-Winner Paulo Szot is currently appearing in The American premiere of Shoshtakovich's Opera The Nose at The Metropolitan Opera. I was there last night for the Opening Night and he was absolutely amazing as I knew he would be. Anyone who has the opportunity should go see it.

I wanted to ask though, last night the opening performance was being broadcast live on Sirius radio.. I LOVED the performance, and would love the ability to listen to it again (I know that next saturdays performance is also being broadcast and I'll listen), but I was wondering if anyone happened to record the stream of the broadcast? If so, please let me know by personal message or other.

Also, unfortunately this won't be being shown in movie theatres via the Met's Live in HD series, but has anyone heard, or think that it's possible that this may be recorded for DVD regardless? It should be, in my opinion, it is the first time it was ever performed in the US and there's no other video of it out there, to my knowledge.

At this point there are no plans for it to be filmed.

I saw The Nose at the Royal Opera House back in 2006. Hilarious!

I'm too dissapointed that there aren't any plans to film it. This inparticular is one production I would love to own a video of, Paulo Szot + the Met debut of a Shoshtakovich opera = <3.

I hope that someone recorded the opening night broadcast from the radio.. and will let me know..

btw, will Szot be returning to South Pacific when the Nose ends?

Saw THE NOSE on Thursday evening... quite honestly, was disappointed....Szot was fine, but the Kentridge art design was distracting and predictable...

I know that several other people felt this way. It didn't bother me personally though, I actually thought that was an interesting addition.

I believe Paulo Szot is supposed to return to South Pacific afterwards.

I know the length, but I've seen shorter shows that had intermissions.

Thanks!

They've been holding the curtain until 8-10 after to deal with the amount of latecomers as there isn't a late seating until over an hour into the show.
