What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm rather partial to Il Trovatore and Rigoletto myself, though La Traviata was the first of the Verdi operas I saw...

I assign Donizetti operas. L'Elisir d'Amore and Lucia di Lammermore are highly recommended. Una Furtiva Lagrima is such a beautiful aria.

And Rossini operas too. They're wonderful - I can probably hum most of The Barber of Seville from memory from listening to it so much. But don't ask me to sing - my voice isn't exactly operatic and probably belongs in Mordor.

Actually, I'll assign all of the Bel Canto composers. Bellini isn't performed nearly as much as deserved.
