Who Sang It Best?

Join beloved Oasis instructor and music historian, Ernest Liotti, for a musical journey through the operatic world’s most iconic voices. Whether you’re a seasoned opera lover or new to the genre, these classes will allow you to compare and debate legendary performances across different voice types.

Part 1: Sopranos and Mezzos | Wednesday, March 26

In the first installment of this series, we’ll explore the brilliant world of female voices, focusing on sopranos and mezzos. From the soaring high notes of Callas and Tebaldi to the rich tones of Simionato, you’ll hear historic recordings of some of the greatest divas of opera. Listen, compare, and decide for yourself who truly sang it best.

Part 2: Tenors and Basses | Wednesday, April 9

The second class shifts focus to the male voices—tenors and basses. You’ll hear powerful performances by legends like Jussi Björling, Luciano Pavarotti, and Boris Christoff, each bringing their own unique style and emotion to the operatic stage. Join us as we analyze and debate which tenor or bass captured the essence of their roles most profoundly.

Both classes will feature a range of recordings, and we invite you to engage in lively discussions as you decide which performance resonates most with you. Don’t miss this chance to dive deep into the operatic repertoire and discover new favorites!
