Italian opera leaves me cold somehow or other. Opera composers I enjoy listening to include Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Bizet, and Offenbach, and you might could add Scott Joplin to the list on the strength of the one opera TreeMonisha.

“Italian opera leaves me cold somehow or other.”

I guess my tastes in Opera aren’t as sophisticated as yours.

My musical tastes pretty much breakdown as follows:

Great Opera
Good Opera
Mediocre Opera
Bad Opera
Everything else Call it “other”.
