It is simply a sparkling and unstoppable parade of sounds of orchestral and vocal music, from the moody melodies of Mozart's operas "All of them are like this" and "The Marriage of Figaro", the ballet numbers of Gounod's opera "Faust", the tragic seriousness and brooding sounds of Verdi's "Don Carlo" to the mischievous consonances Lehár's melodies and 20th century the carefree songs of Porter, reminiscent of the mid-century musical atmosphere, or the Bernstein musical singing New York. And who could more suggestively convey the sounding portrait of this city that never sleeps ("The City That Never Sleeps"), if not one of the most outstanding baritones of the USA, Th. Hampson?
