presentation and asking help

[Peter Gluck]

Dear friends,
Dear Frederik Magle,our host,
I am both grateful and honored to have been accepted as member of this
forum. I am 73+ years of age (old or young- we will see it) living in Cluj Romania.
My wife Judith and me love very much music, especially opera.
In order to express my great love to opera I wrote this essay:

http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/201...ll-noises.html

If you will read you will see that I have conceived it in comditions of extreme stress; therefore the list of opera arias chosen is far from being perfect. I dare
to ask for your help- suggestions for an improved list of arias.
I think my essay is very good to celebrate April 1, an important day, isn't it?
Best wishes and thanks, Peter

Are you serious??

[Peter Gluck]

Yes, I am extremely serious -see the definition of serious in my blog EgoOut.
And yes, I need a list of the say 25 mots beautil, moving opera arias - with which you can convince somebody absolutely ignorant that Opera music is a cultural treasure.

Dear Margaret,
I am honored by your visit at the blog. Actually this is my first posting here re.music but perhssd you will like the Septoes and the concept of Ego Out snd..
The posting re Opera is a joke, but I seriously need help for the selection of the most beautiful opera arias- in the context of the story.

Had a look at your project- I like the goal (a tableux for framing Opera highlights).

At the risk of being predictable to those who know my musical tastes best, I might lobby for adding "a look at how, even in the midst of disorder, the best among us still look for ways to frame the arc of events to societal advantage- and honor the effort where we see it."

Cue: Wahn Monologue from Wagner's Meistersinger.

[Peter Gluck]

Thank you- in some way the Hans Sachs monologue did not come in my mind in those circumstances. I thought about Tannhauser, but eventually I chose Lohengrin.
Had no time to read then the monthly issue of the Wagnermania- excellent database.
