I cannot see the title of that song without my head singing, "take that pearl."

Georges Bizet - Carmen (Claudio Abbado, LSO, Teresa Berganza, Placido Domingo)

^ I hear you were a bizet man this morning. <sorry>

Why all the 'Carmen' productions? The story behind opera's sexiest blockbuster

With Mill City Summer Opera's new staging, Georges Bizet's 19th-century failure is Minnesota's hottest opera.

Femi & Made Kuti - Legacy + (2021)



This isn't that good. Part of the genius of Fela Kuti was he knew how to use repetition and created some very long tracks that were hypnotic. Neither Femi nor Made do that.

Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana (Serafin, Orchestra of La Scala, Callas, di Stefano et al)




Had some extra time today so taking the opera-tunity to listen to another
A little Cav sans Pag

That must mean that it was ethically and humanely recorded.
