Great music; great singing. Curtis Verna and Irene Dalis and most of the
cast can be found on live performance CDs on "The Opera Lovers"
site.
I saw Corelli and Sereni and Hines in live performances. Sereni sang
a high A flat for me in his dressing room. Over 4 decades ago. I
have Alzheimer's now, but I still remember those nights at the opera.
Tnx 4 the exciting post.
