There's also a musical version by Elton John and Tim Rice based on the opera.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Not opera, but for a criminally little known, majestic choral work, there is little better than Anton Bruckner’s, Te Deum.

Please, please check it out all fellow classical lovers

I do love a good over-the-top dramatic opera - Pavarotti used to ham Pagliacci up so much it was hilarious, but still fantastic

Most composers only wrote on part of the opera, the tenner part, or the falsetto part if you get my drift, wagner wrote all of it though

Agreed, it's a beauty (wouldn't have said it's "little known"?).

My favourite opera is Saint-Saëns's "Samson and Delilah". The most heartbreaking soprano aria....

I think it's more the singing.

I'd be quite happy if it was just orchestral

Great thread...love Verdi..Bruckner (5,7&8) Puccini, Wagner and Mahler...saving listening to his 5th till when the news is better...2020 is like his 6th...full of despair with a bleak ending. Never thought we’d be writing this on Fab

I first heard it coupled on a CD with Verdi’s wonderful Requiem and fell instantly in love with it.

Bruckners Mass in E Minor is similarly breathtaking - moments of majestic power balanced with soft, almost ethereal sensitivity
