In Act Two of FELLOW TRAVELERS Hawkins Fuller, now married to Lucy, has rented an apartment for his beloved Tim (whom he calls “Skippy”). As Hawk sings the aria “Our very own home” he convinces himself that it’s not going to work. Sung by Joseph Lattanzi, with the orchestra of Cincinnati Opera conducted by Mark Gibson, in Cincinnati in 2016. Music provided by Cincinnati Opera. 

"Stay. Just stay. Come over here. There are things we can have. And things we can be...for each other, Skippy. We can’t be that. You’re not one of those. Let me hold you for an hour. That’s what we get. That’s what we’re given. Let me hold you. Your head on my arm just for an hour, you and me and the moon. Stay here in the shadows."

Bass Adam Lau returned to Seattle Opera to sing Dido’s advisor, Narbal, in LES TROYENS. Although Dido seems happy hosting her exiled Trojan guest Aeneas, Narbal anticipates the trouble that will certainly come from this visit. The orchestra of Seattle Opera was conducted by Ludovic Morlot. Photo by David Jaewon Oh.

“What pleasure on earth can compare with that of the hunter?” The beloved “Hunters’ Chorus” from DER FREISCHÜTZ is perhaps the most familiar tune written by Carl Maria von Weber, and sounded a distinctly German note as German opera was coming into its own in the early nineteenth century. Gerard Schwarz conducted the chorus and orchestra of Seattle Opera in 1999. Image: Georg Friedrich Kersting, Deutsche Freiheitskämpfer im Deutschen Wald, 1815
