RE: Future operas |
| Message: |
I would like to second the suggestions of Il Trovatore and Gounod's Faust and add Rigoletto, which incidentally was my first opera, presented many decades ago at the outdoor Forest Theatre in Chapel Hill, by some opera company of NC travelling to various locations to introduce opera to those who weren't ordinarily exposed to it.
One comment on opera written in English, which you can put down to my ignorance if you wish: I find the sung words as difficult to understand as opera in any foreign language and have not yet heard a beautiful and memorable aria. |
