Dear Eli, Good job, such a presentation! In my experience with such presentations most listeners are useally genuinly taken by the music and Meyerbeer. Good to see that in NY there is actually something going on with Meyerbeer. Just out of curiosity: in what way do you intend to present the different musical excerpts? With Meyerbeer, hearing an entire act in one go often teachess more about his style and impact then just separate numbers (especially as many of his very effective pieces are actually scenes, arioso or recitative). With that in mind I often let people listen the Huguenots act VI, or Prophète act VI or V, or Robert le Diable act I etc. Anyway, good luck! Kindest greetings from the Netherlands, Joost Overdijkink
