Viva Verdi!

Continuing my musical theme: my choir's next concert is going to be an afternoon of highlights from Verdi's operas. We have had three rehearsals so far (seven to go) and they are proving to be enormous fun. We have engaged a couple of soloists for the arias and we, the choir, are being let loose on the choruses - the Anvil chorus from Il Trovatore, Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Nabucco, the Matadors' Chorus from La Traviata, and others.

We're brushing up our non-existent Italian.
