Consider this a "fishing expedition" for anyone who listens to and loves opera. You've probably seen my posts on other forums, but thought it might be interesting to see opinions, etc. from opera-lovers - IF ANY!
Just got Renee Fleming's new "Bel Canto," and as usual am charmed and rather amazed by the lady's performance! But I was certainly not prepared for the sonic boom when the chorus came in! Rather awesome - and I look forward to this fall, when I get an SACD player so I can hear the disc in its full glory.
My wife and I will be in Santa Fe in August - for three operas, some chamber music, and a LOT of chilis! GRIN
Hope I get some "opera-nut" responses . . . Larry R
