(Well, parts of it are sung by Romans. This one is Romans vs. Gauls, who both lose to bel canto)

That is perhaps the best summary of the opera I have ever seen.

-Berlioz, Les Troyens

Whose recording do you have? I don't yet own one.

Yes, he composed stuff besides G&S.

I know. That's still a moment of *blink*.

Finally, if you read this far, I have a marvelous CD by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus called "Rome's Golden Poets- A Capella Settings of Latin Verse". It lives up to its name. I highly recommend it.

Prrrr.

Thank you!
