you got asked top 5 opening scenes, so top 5 final scenes?
took me a while to get back to these!
once again, the order changes depending on the day:
Die Zauberflote, maybe because it was my first opera finale, but also just the sheer joy in the final bit of the chorus and the way my favorite production stages it...ugh, tears
Martha, oder der Markt von Richmond because it's so sweet and happy!!
Cendrillon. MEZZOS IN LOVE also so fun how they break the fourth wall in the final seconds, totally unexpected but also fitting. We knew all along it was a fairy tale. Give the cast some love.
Carmen, as described in the previous ask about death scenes, just the way it shatters. brutal.
Les contes d'Hoffmann, surprising no one. Oeser version obviously.
thanks!
