As for the other poll, I am very curious:

I noticed that no one opted for the consumption role of Violetta (very wise choice), but I would like to know who are the three that chose to be engulfed by the flames of hell! :shock:

Personally, I went with the firing squad. :wink:

these two are the same: 02 Verdi- Celeste Aida- Aida
02 Verdi- Se quel guerrier- Aida
se quel guerrier is the recitative preceding celeste aida.
libiamo from Traviatta is a duet technically.

Fortunately, this does not affect the result. It merely moves Celeste Aida from 2 points to 4 points... it does not change the top 10. And Libiamo remains at 8 points, also not affecting the result.

Hal, I'm really glad you're back, and that you've gotten right back into this. You, your dedication and your flair for this kind of thing have been greatly missed.

A couple of questions before choosing the next topic.

Would y'all feel it's too incestuous to go with "opera choruses" immediately afte this? And, if I go with that topic, do we want to draw a distinction between stand-alone choruses and choruses with solos? Personally, I don't want to draw the distinction - too exclusive that way.

I second your sentiments about Hal being back and his dedication. :#1:

For Opera Choruses, it would be better to keep it inclusive of both stand-alone choruses and choruses with solos, I agree.

I await thy command, sire.

looks like the ka'aba.

Well, that's a little disconcerting....

Okay, top ten opera choruses it is! They can include stand-alone choruses and those that contain solos.

Thank you, Hal!
