SORRY FOR THE EDITING MISTAKE AT 28:30 🙈🙈🙈 Of course I chose that moment to take a drink of water...
For those looking for my version of this piece.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_hhuw9D1S0
It’s ironic that some of you will be introduced to Meyerbeer in the context of his opera about religious persecution, as it was exactly his religion as a German Jew and the anti-Semitism that was obviously very prevalent in the early 20th century in Europe that got his music banned from Germany.
DON'T GET ME WRONG - I think Susanne Johnston sings well, but I think the whole production for this aria leaves a lot to be desired...
