1. The festive opening chorus.
2. In the forest, Elvino sings his big aria.

Camille says:
oh, it’s Nabucodonosor.
1. “Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate…”

3. “Salgo gia sul trono aurato”.

I’ve now discovered that regie productions always hire the skinniest singers they can. So there is no way this could be a Cosi or Figaro or something like that. I would go with Nabucco (as mentioned above) or Troyens. Is the blue stuff supposed to be blood?

        I just want to say “thank you” to everyone who recognized this opera and didn’t blurt out the answer. Your discretion is appreciated.
