Dear Monona:
This is beautiful music and much appreciated expression of a heartfelt loss.
Re: Mouse tales-.that's one smart mouse in your house, and clearly a survivor, perhaps of Eastern European decent-. maybe she has a Polish or Ukranian cousin? Based on my experience the smart survivors are worthy of respect..-however, if you insist on elimination then I would propose an equally intelligent and compassionate cat - a big orange tabby who is skillful and affectionate- he will guard your house and cupboard contents and warm your lap and feet too! And with zero risk of poison getting into the wrong hands or mouths of little ones.
I too would love to hear your musical performance and if a video is possible please do share it with us.
Monona you're a superb teacher and entertainer extraordinaire. I'm continually amazed at the breadth of your communications, talents and experiences.
Best always,
Mary Ellen

Hi Monona:
Thanks for the clarification - I'm not an opera/oratorio buff but I am an appreciator of lovely music and this is it. I'd love to hear you perform. Will there be video of the show?
And I can't tell you how much your glorious mouse saga makes me happy. It always amazes me what a truly splendid on-line community this is - on so many levels.
Happy Friday,
Debbie

Debbie, I can see how you thought it was an opera since it comes in three acts with scenes. But actually it is an oratorio. It could easily be converted to an opera. May add a little recitative.
Conversely, if you know Handel's opera, Cleopatra, you will see the same structure. But Cleo was meant to be staged as an opera. In a reverse twist, at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1960s I sang Cleopatra with harpsichord staged as an oratorio! The harpsichordist was Alice Ehlers. You can google her, too.
I have that recording you found. It has to be ordered from the UK, but well worth it if you like coloratura. The program I'm working on for October will have samples of coloratura and lyric opera arias, German lieder, and popular, Vaudeville, and Broadway songs from the late 1800s to the 1960. There is stuff from 'way back there that many people have never heard that is well worth giving a listen to.

In case you were curious -
I think this is the aria Monona mentioned below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtJpn8ZbUQ0
And here's a libretto from the same opera that's really gorgeous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HDrkGCDYAQ
I've never heard of this opera - it's a great Old Testament tale.
Enjoy!
Debbie

That was my concern. I saw our adversary when I was practicing last night. And she eats so much D-Con and Just-One-Bite that she leaves little bright green poopies around. I think she'd give a cat some major indigestion.
But last night I also didn't put out any D-Con and mixed the Just-One-Bite and the Tom Cat shavings. This morning it looks she's eaten quite a bit of the Tom Cat. I've pulled out an old aria from an obscure Handel oratorio called Ester that I hope to practice soon: It's Esther's Alleluia.
