Opera Daily: Rossini Listening Session with Michele and Heather

3

Welcome to our first Opera Daily Listening Session.

We tried to keep this first session on the short side (πŸ₯΄ so much to discuss!). In the future, these sessions will be video (so you can see our expressions throughout πŸ˜‰) with a goal toward live video so we can discuss in real-time with all of you.

It is Rossini month, so we both brought our favorite Rossini pieces to the conversation. We added a bonus element to the discussion’s tail-end, which included our favorite β€œUna voce poca fa” (Rosina’s aria from Rossini'sΒ Il Barbiere Di Siviglia).

We only play clips during the session, so please see below for the full pieces.

If you have a question for us, feedback on the session, or anything else, leave a comment for us below!
