A lot of gunfire last night. Unusual.
Tell them to knock it off, I'm trying to sleep.........
Hope you got to hear Lisette Oropesa. Her Violetta was outstanding, and also the last one I heard live (At Met Opera, Feb 29, 2020).
But as good as she was then, I think this video of her from before she sang the role professionally is more fun. (supposedly her first ever ever sing-through of Sempre Libera, but I DON'T BELIEVE IT!)

You still have a few hours left to start to watch (until 6PM NY time, today) the Met Opera's Ernani from 1983 with Pavarotti, Mitchell, et al. I loved this performance, which I got to see live back in 1983.
I don't know if I implied that the Met Oropesa Traviata is available on the internet, but I don't believe it is.
