It was observed earlier in the week that Verdi might be easier to sing than Mozart (with caveats - I'm sure).
One of those might be found in today's Met broadcast of NABUCCO. Nothing easy about this one ('cept what an extra set of testicular apparati couldn't help!). Man, what a (Grizzly) Bear of an opera! This is said not to disparage the opera to our non English speaking friends on list...the term 'bear' is used to mean difficult, tough, massive & the Grizzly is considered the meanest, toughest, nastiest bear on the planet.
As for Nabucco - no wonder the public of Milan was fired up after listening & witnessing this grand opera! I'm really enjoying this one!! Hope you are too!!
