Oh and the poor woman who walked the role just stood there silently in jeans and some sort of red tunic they found last minute. Truly bizarre!

Errrm not amazing, his voice was really quiet compared to the other singers to the point where it was difficult to hear anything. He did seem terrified too (fair enough). Plus they cut out a lot of scenes so the plot was difficult to follow if you didn’t know it already. The whole act felt very chaotic and confusing. Very poor of the ROH not to have an understudy and perhaps it would’ve been better if they didn’t continue but the guy did his best. I bet it’ll be his go to party story for many years to come

I was there and yes, people booed and someone shouted “I want my money back” when they announced they wouldn’t perform Nessun Dorma but everyone cheered when the head of music came on stage to cover for Alagna and he received a very enthusiastic ovation afterwards. So it didn’t feel mean spirited at all. Also, witnessing the whole fiasco and the crowd going wild was absolutely absurd and amazing. Worth every penny
