As this has become an opera thread I find it a chuckle that no one has mentioned Andrew Lloyd Webber. Good , bad , or indiferent he has made a success of himself.Of the above mentioned operas, which are in English? Have any grand operas been written for the English language? Are any successfully translated from the original tongue to English?
My daughter has done props for operas as well as wigs and costumes. Her faves are Turandot, La Boheme, and Aiida. Her least favorites are anything by Wagner but that is my favorite opera music without the vocals, although German is hardly a musical language.
