Wow...Amber and Chloe, thank you for sharing your opera knowledge! Those sound like amusing stories from those days. And I never think of the time when Mozart's music was popular, but now that I do, I can see the irony in what kind of people like his music.
I think I want to see an opera one of these days. I actually almost got tickets to Privilege, but my mom and I couldn't find a good day to see it. Chloe, what opera(s) would you recommend for a first timer?
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
