While reading Luiz' interview with Riccardo Muti:
I checked YouTube to see if there were any videos of Great Scott available, and didn't find much. There is a clip of Joyce El Khoury as Tatyana giving her "variations" on the Star-Spangled Banner for a production at the San Diego Opera, and another of Joyce Di Donato in concert singing an aria from the supposed rediscovered rarity that's part of Great Scott's plot. But that's about it. Nat's right: this opera really needs a video to make a complete impression.

A pair of Bel Canto operas with Beverly Sills:
Donizetti: Lucia Di Lammermoor
Rossini: L'Assedio Di Corinto
Well. That's it. Other than a couple other Callas sets that I won't be listening to on this binge.
