[edthesp]

Wow. You play it as if you're actually Norma invoking the chaste goddesses.

Wow. You play it as if you're actually Norma invoking the chaste goddesses. Where can I get a copy of this piece?

Bravo

[liztrifiro]

Lovely.

[Drelnis]

It's great! Did you have a score or did you improvise?

[jewelyard]

Both!

[DivaDeb1234]

I agree. And I appreciate your work.

[jewelyard]

Thank you. I am grateful to know people like yourself. Canta, casta diva!

[DivaDeb1234]

I actually sang in the chorus of this opera when I was younger. The Norma was Joan Sutherland and her husband Richard in the Pit. It's such a gorgeous melody....

Thanks for dedicating it to me...that is so cool.

[jewelyard]

You're welcome. You love music. Ah, Joan Sutherland: now, that's when opera was opera! You can keep the sub-titles on backs of chairs and the sex appeal ads; just give me a great voice!

[DivaDeb1234]

I totally agree..!

[jewelyard]

Thanks. I realize that opera needs revitalization, so they are trying to bring in newer, younger audiences, but at what cost? It all seems so commercial nowadays, but the world is a different place...I'm trying to do my part by keeping the great melodies still circulating!

[sroberge]

beautiful. is Norma a movie?

[jewelyard]

Thank you. It's an opera.
