How best to market an opera?  Wiener Kammeroper advertises Le pescatrici with a strikingly posed image (photograph by Holger Bleck) of two gymnastic women wearing, well, not a great deal: perhaps more Rhinemaidens or Rusalka than the fishwives of Goldoni's farce.  It makes for effective publicity but in actuality the production, set up by credit-crunch video projections during the overture, adopts a less seductively enticing approach. The choice for our own publicity, to be launched soon, should appear less marginal. Expect edible succulence!
