With this discussion, I am inaugurating the new "Opera" section. It was born after some considerations in another thread, and after some messages with TheSimon we decided to try and see how it goes...
Obviously, the section will welcome all discussions relating to opera (here) and musicals (over there), both specific ones and more generic ones (relating to the situation of Italian theaters, for example).
But since my personal experience has taught me that classical musicians are not always passionate about opera, one of the things I would like to try to do is a bit of "didactics."
And that is why the discussion has been called "one opera a week (more or less)". I would like to try, with everyone's help, to "force you" to listen to some operas. And to join the online discussion. It will be a bit of a laboratory, a bit of a conversation.
I will leave this thread for general matters, referring to others for specific discussions and listening proposals. For now, I ask you what you think of the operation itself.
I would like to start with well-known operas that are easy to approach, rather than setting up a historical discourse. As they say, if we start with Monteverdi's Orfeo, you will probably lose interest immediately...

great, thanks, I will follow your listening!
And that is exactly what we need for those who have always somewhat neglected "opera"...
