How sad! Composer Gian Carlo Menotti dies at 95!
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way!
I'm familiar only with "Amahl and the Night Visitors&qu
When I was about 10, my sister's high school mixed chorus performed it (at Christmastime, of course). They wanted to get a boy soprano to play Amahl, and my sister tried to convince me to audition for the part, but I was too scared. I've often wished that I had at least tried it. Oh well, that was a lifetime ago.
I have a recording of the original TV cast. And (somewhere) I have a videocassette with the 1978 version (I recorded it off the TV.) MamaMouse always said it was the only opera she could stand to listen to.
The world has lost a great composer. And I say this on the strength of Amahl... alone.

Lord, you have filled my cup so full,
How can I fear tomorrow?

You have the best music...
I would dearly love to check out what you have based on what you've put here. Your collection sounds like one I'd put black on and burgle your house.
Have a good weekend.

You'd have to put on kitty ears, too, and be a cat burglar. (Would that make you Catwoman? )jodlyn wrote:I would dearly love to check out what you have based on what you've put here. Your collection sounds like one I'd put black on and burgle your house.
