Safe journey to you both, Ladies! Angels guard thee on your way!
Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!
Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

"Fedora" and "La Wally" didn't last. The first and only American performance of "La Wally" was in 1910, and that gives you a hint about the opera in general.
"Martha" should have survived the war years, but after WW2, it was Wagner, Mozart and Beethoven alone for German opera. A pity.

Donizetti’s writing for woodwinds is exceptional. Verdi learned a lot from him.

Speaking of Verdi:
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Once you get past the recitiative with brass accompaniment, the tenor has to begin his opening aria backed only by a pair of oboes and some pizzicato strings. It's like a trapeze artist working without a net. That high note is a killer in and of itself.
Verdi sets a high bar for his Radames.

In 1903,
Scott Joplin began work on an opera, A Guest of Honor, which created friction between himself and Stark. John was content to issue piano rags and make a lot of money for himself and Scott, but Joplin wanted something bigger. Scott saw himself as a serious composer, but John, always the astute businessman with an eye on the bottom line, saw himself as a realist. Joplin registered the opera with the copyright office in Washington, but the score never arrived. There is a story that a dress rehearsal was staged in St. Louis, but no one is sure if that is true.
Two pieces were published in 1903. The first is just plain wonderful.
Joplin: Weeping Willow
Palm Leaf Rag
In 1904, St. Louis got its own Worlds Fair. Scott Joplin and Belle bought themselves a 13 room mansion which they turned into a boarding house. That year Joplin published four pieces.
The first was actually written in 1898 in Sedalia and finally published by the A. W. Perry firm.
Joplin: The Favorite
The others were published by John Stark.
The Sycamore
This was based on a watercourse that was a major part of the Worlds Fair.
The Cascades
This is best played at slower pace due to its contemplative nature.
The Chrysanthemum

I saw a rather interesting production of "Rigoletto" on A&E done by Jonathan Miller where he sets the opera in New York's Little Italy in the Fifties. It worked quite well.
I've always found it interesting that the only honest man in the opera is a hit man. Sparafucile gives you esactly what you pay for!

The marriage of
Scott Joplin and Belle frayed in 1905. She had little interest or aptitude for music, and Scotts attempt to teach her violin was a failure. It was not a marriage of people with similar interests.
That year produced five pieces. The first was lost until 1950 when it turned up in St. Louis.
Joplin: Leola
This waltz is a masterpiece and one of my personal favorites. I love playing this number at the piano, and that G to E-flat to G chord change at the end is a miracle. This is Joshua Rifkins 1971 recording where he plays it with a wonderful sense of freedom.
Bethena
This is a rollicking march,
Rosebud
A minor gem.
Binks Waltz
A fine contemplative piece that makes me want to go back in time. There is a wonderful sense of grace to this rag.
