Ah! We are plundering the riches of early 20th century opera these days, aren't we my dear mercia...Originally posted by mercia View Post
The link here for me is Draguignan where I've stayed a couple of times, and knew was the birthplace of Lili Pons thanks to a music-mad dining companion down there. And so we find (amid many discoveries about her in the last few minutes - I had no idea about her career as an advertising model, nor the Gershwin connection) that she was discovered by the dashing Giovanni Zenatello... Our Z I think, who also
- created the role of Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly (he being a Lieutenant aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln)
- was instrumental in turning the Arena in Verona into an operatic venue..."...the isle is full of noises,

Lucky you remembered the West theme. I still can't believe I spent time thinking of an N last night to follow M for Morton....Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostAhead of me, Norf's: I was still trying to find a work by Morton Feldman with "West" in the title!
Mind you, watch out whoever sets M... I'll be gunning the mental throttle so I can use my
