I adore music from the Renaissance and Baroqe periods, though, and Mozart
(does he count as Baroqe or Romantic?
*******************
He's "Classical"....with Haydn and Beethoven.
And there are lots of Baroque and Classical operas. My faves too. I like the
stylized, non-realistic approach of these operas. "Le Nozzi di Figaro" is my
fave.

And.... was it Suzi who didn't like Ballet? But you loved Rameau? About 1/3
of his operas ARE ballet!
No, what I said was I loved the music. I did not enjoy the
trampolines and the bizarre modern take on the opera.But the music
was played and sung by Les Arts Florisantes, a truly wonderful
baroque music group directed by William Christie. They are doing
Handel's Hannibal" later in the year, and I hope so much to be able
to see that too. (Well, listen rather than see to be honest.)
