VANITY PLATES

I do not often read Vanity Fair. But while perusing the blog Parterre, I found out that the mag has featured some glossy-friendly opera singers in this month's issue.



As per the VF style, they are draped across divans and pretentiously posed. This styling might do squat toward the perception of opera as high-faluting. But I'm not complaining to see a grouping of opera artists featured in the mainstream media, instead of just one of opera's poster children (i.e. The Flem).
