Demystify:
Debbie, I can see how you thought it was an opera since it comes in three acts with scenes. But actually it is an oratorio. It could easily be converted to an opera. May add a little recitative.
Conversely, if you know Handel's opera, Cleopatra, you will see the same structure. But Cleo was meant to be staged as an opera. In a reverse twist, at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1960s I sang Cleopatra with harpsichord staged as an oratorio! The harpsichordist was Alice Ehlers. You can google her, too.
I have that recording you found. It has to be ordered from the UK, but well worth it if you like coloratura. The program I'm working on for October will have samples of coloratura and lyric opera arias, German lieder, and popular, Vaudeville, and Broadway songs from the late 1800s to the 1960. There is stuff from 'way back there that many people have never heard that is well worth giving a listen to.
That was my concern. I saw our adversary when I was practicing last night. And she eats so much D-Con and Just-One-Bite that she leaves little bright green poopies
around. I think she'd give a cat some major indigestion.
But last night I also didn't put out any D-Con and mixed the Just-One-Bite and the Tom Cat shavings. This morning it looks she's eaten
quite a bit of the Tom Cat. I've pulled out an old aria from an obscure Handel oratorio called Ester that I hope to practice soon: It's Esther's Alleluia.
