Thanks for the laugh, Anne! I am still trying to catch my breath!Originally Posted by Anne of Green Gables
By the way, I love how Meyerbeer enriched this 6-minutes long vocal cadence with few seconds of aria.
L'incoronazione di Poppea from Lyon with Sonya Yoncheva, Max Emmanuel Cencic, Ann Hallenberg, Tim Mead. Rather wonderful if occasionally bonkers.
PS Alma you want to watch the Poppea bits. Trust me.

I was listening to this when my nephew came home (he's staying with me for a couple of months while doing an internship) and I had to turn it off.
That's too bad! I've always enjoyed this performance. No chance of converting him, eh?

Good question. I don't know, I'm working on him... At 23, he seems to have a pretty good idea of what he likes. The good news is that he doesn't roll his eyes at my opera-speak.
You're a very nice uncle. Any nephew or niece of mine who'd be spending a couple of months in my home would just have to get used to the opera.
Thanks, MAuer - I'll pass along your message!
