    Haha!!! Funny, but surprisingly, Puccini, who composed Madam Butterfly was born in 1858, and while Verdi was born somewhat earlier, even he doesn’t meet your 250 year measure. Some operas are relatively more contemporary than one might think.

    One of my all time favourite movies and a touchstone for my WIP "Debussy's Slippers" about the fateful meeting of George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel in 1928!

    ...there is rarely in between.

    For my part, it is the former, so much so that I decided I don’t get enough and I invested in a subscription to The Met on Demand app through my FireStick.

    I was introduced to full-length opera over 30 years ago when my first husband’s best friend offered tickets to the Utah Opera production of Turandot, in which h ...[text shortened]... iant, as is Sir Bryn.

    Opera...love or hate...?

    Which have you seen and which is your favorite?

    Best opera experinece: Aida perormed in Verona in the old Circus. (that was probably 2014) I can only recommend that.

    I think that in opera it is a Question of my personal state what I would give as favourite.
