The Words!
I've prepared a document with the words of the chorus and their English
translations, so that you know what you are singing.

pdf form or as
a word document
Here are the choruses in the order in which we will sing them – but
don't hold me to it:
- Donizetti, Lucia di Lammermoor : Chorus of Wedding
Guests
- Mozart, Idomeneo : Voyagers' Chorus
- Leoncavallo, I Pagliacci : Bell Chorus
- Johann Strauss, Die Fledermaus : “Brüderlein...”

Va pensiero. We will sing this chorus together with the audience
at the end of the concert as an encore. We will not be in costume for
this chorus,

Muti conducts the encore of the chorus and gets the audience to join in
- this is most apt as that is just what I'd like to happen on 26 May in
Fidenza!
