While I have seen numerous suggestions regarding favourite instrumental works, not once (to date) has anyone suggested an opera (Overtures have been mentioned, but not entire works). Allow me then to put in my two cents: Rossini: The Barber of Seville Conductor: Emile Chakarov (sp?) Metropolitan Opera (I think) 1984. I could not tell you who starred but the "live (no flames)" recording is available, somewhere. -- Randall S.
