And no, I'm not a Nazi. I do so like the pomp, though.

3. Verdi - the N'Stink Italian equivalent |
|
Populist junk. Listenable, but not compelling or interesting.
Pfagh.
I voted for Wagner, though Puccini is a close second.

4. Couldn't have put it better myself about Verdi. |
|
My second place goes to Monteverdi - very different style of opera to Wagner, but almost as gorgeous.

5. Sorry, but I totally dig Joe Green. |
|
Toe tapping stuff from La Traviata. ;-)
But then again, I'm drinking tonight so the song makes sense.

WOO HOO! I love that one!
Saw it at the Met a few years ago, and it was absolutely wonderful!
It's one of the few light operas that I enjoy, and I enjoy the hell out of it!

I also like La Cenerentola.

Nothing else should be called "opera"!
