It’s gorgeous

My church had two sopranos (one coloratura/lyric, one dramatic) give a concert last night

[it still says “Mass” on the title. It’s not a Mass.]

August 16 - EUGENE ONEGIN (2007)

I’m a Met on Demand subscriber, so I’ve seen all 4 of these (some multiple times) – I recommend all 4.

I prefer Il Coniglio di Siviglia

I’ve seen Barber and Trovatore live but not the other two. I have a saved a few tracks from a recording of Akhnaten - I like Funeral of Amenhotep. There’s a great tenor aria in Eugene Onegin.

By recommending these, I’m not recommending the operas in general, but these productions in particular…as in, the particular signers, etc.
