The Met should revive Oberon

Great score; let anyone but Jeremy Sams concoct a new libretto!

They did it 1918-21 with two apparently formidable Rezias, Rosa Ponselle and Florence Easton. The role a Lise Davidsen natural! Plus Huon (Issachah Savage), Oberon (Ben Bliss); Sherasmin (Joshua Hopkins); Fatima (Sasha Cooke). Donald Runnicles conducting.
