And now...Pigoletto!

Five minutes of Verdi, for my friend's birthday.

For your musical edification (and for the entertainment of a dear friend who is having her birthday today) we are proud to present The Muppetropolitan Opera's production of Pigoletto, a pastiche of Verdi, Wagner, and Bizet that's even more fun than The Enchanted Island.
Pigoletto stars Beverly Sills as Violetta. Her grace and good humor do credit to those of us who aspire to a higher art than spoon hanging.
Enjoy.
