Opera, or Nobody Knows the Traubel I've Seen

Callas or Tebaldi? Mozart or Wagner? The Met or New York City Opera? Well, you're wrong! But if you can pronounce Mawrdew Czgowchwz, if your Saturday afternoons are reserved for the Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts and you know La Fenice from La Scala, you've come to the right place.

This is the group for all things operatic: fiction, non-fiction, and gossip.
