Aaron Copeland's "The Tender Land" Very accessible for someone who is just beginning to get into opera. Sung in English. Story is of a Midwest farming community, and a young girl's high school graduation/coming of age celebration.
Operas... Any fans?
Hi all,
I'm starting to get into Opera (I actually have season tickets to the Opera de Montreal)...
I would like to find some well recorded and well interpreted opera on CDs. The only problem is that I find that most CDs I purchased have a poor recording (or they sound like they were recorded from the 250th row).
Does anyone have any suggestion as to what opera CDs I should try getting (or any better labels than other ones)?
By the way, I am looking for complete operas or CDs with multiple opera passages (sorry, I don't know any better english words).
So in short, I'm looking for must have CDs...
So far the operas I really liked were:
Madama Butterfly
Rigoletto
Turandot
Lakmé
Carmen
Any of the above operas or any other operas worth while listenning would be appreciated...
Thanks ahead
