I hope you’ll join me this Friday,  July 30 at 11:00 am when we will be listening to the original Broadway cast recording of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” (1934). Members of the cast include Ethel Merman, William Gaxton, and Victor Moore. Many songs that we know from that show were omitted, so we will hear them when we listen to a recording of a recent revival.  FUN!

Sunday Morning Opera with Sandy, on July 25th, will feature Cesare Siepi, who passed away on July 5, 2010. He will be singing the title role of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”. This is a recording from the 1956 Salzburg Festival, and also features Elisabeth Grümmer, Léopold Simoneau, Fernando Corena, Lisa della Casa, Walter Berry, Gottlob Frick, and Rita Streich. The conductor is Dimitri Mitropoulos.
Note: Due to the length of the opera, we will begin …

On Friday, July 16th, from 11AM to 1PM, we will be listening to 2 shows:First, “Fiorello” (1959), with music by Jerry Bock. Members of this original cast recording cast include Tom Bosley, Howard Da Silva, and Patricia Wilson. The second show is “I had a Ball” with music and lyrics by Jack Lawrence and Stan Freeman.
