Bite your tongue! This a huge controversy on the opera
list. Do an archives search on Bartoli and microphone, and
you can read the arguments pro and con. Personally, having
been at the performance mentioned in my other message, I
don't think she was miked there, because her sound wouldn't
match up with the others she sang with, her mike would pick
up the other singers and you'd hear it.

If I'm at the opera and they are miking anybody onstage
(off-stage voices are OK), I will demand a full refund.
