Two short operas in Draper

[Gordon S. Jones]

I have a minor role in Gianni, but I can't recommend it highly enough despite that. This is a beautifully sung production, very amusing, and approachable. A very easy introduction to opera for non-opera fans. Puccini wrote some marvelous music for this short piece. (I love Dido as well, but it is not funny, so I don't want to mislead anyone.)
