Is there such a word as OPERAFEST? If there is I think I am having one! FEEL SORRY FOR SUE?

One of the joys of my life since perhaps my teenage years is music. My problem, or rather my wifes problem is the variety of music I like? Anything before about 1975 and that includes all genre from folk through jazz, classical, opera, operetta and everything country and all in between!

I recently discovered Amazon Music and for a nominal monthly sum I can listen to as much music and in whatever variety and quantity I like! Well to me that is like a red rag to a bull because being a hater of advertisements in any shape or form it means endless music of my choice without a single advert all day and all night woohoo!!!
I can even download it onto my phone and have advertless music of my choice in the car as well.

As I am stuck indoors today because I cannot make any use of my right arm due to having the artery opened up yesterday and it has to heal I am working my way through my favourite operas! NOT JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS EITHER but IN THEIR ENTIRETY! Wonderful Wonderful operatic classical music! What complete JOY!!!!
1st THE MAGIC FLUTE
2nd CARMEN (playing now).
Only problem I have is which one next? LA TRAVIATA, TOSCA, LA BOHEME, DON GIOVANI, THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, the list goes on and on not even mentioning Gilbert and Sullivan, Oh such wonderful music...... Poor long suffering Sue!
