...A la rose s'assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs riant au matin..."
Lakmé, by Léo Delibes
Confession: I like opera. And it's got nothing to do with my name. If anything, Tosca is the least of my favourites. (Although she was a vengeful woman and that I can get behind). My most favourite opera ever is La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini. That's not to say I don't like anything else. I do. Just not in their entirety. Usually certain songs, more than anything else. Such as the one in today's clip.
Joan Sutherland & Huguette Tourangeau in Lakmé by Léo Delibes. In particular the Flower Duet (1976). Cliche, I know. So sue me.
This is going to be playing in my head all day.

My fav opera song is Nessun Dorma - again, a cliche. I'm much more a tenor listener than soprano...
My fav opera-related book is 'Turandot'by Marianna Mayer & illustrated by Winslow Pels. Glorious illustrations.
