    An American public figure who can converse about an engaging classical art form from the European golden age. This is a universe away from where I'm living in 2020. Sweet rest to you, Justice Ginsburg. You LIVED and savored life.

    As a conservative textualist, I appreciate her love of opera and the law. May she rest in peace.

    The fact that her fierce passion to see women have a better life is communicated with such temperance and pleasantness....I must learn her ways.

    Fanciulla is one of her top 5. Yes.

    Justice Ginsburg sure knows her opera! I agree with her Mozart and Verdi choices. I love Rosenkavalier and Fanciulla, but I think Strauss and Puccini wrote greater works (IMO, Elektra and Boheme), but we all have our special favorites.

      Boheme is great, but I think Suor Angelica is my favourite. I do like Fanciulla better than Boheme.

    Well, she's almost right about Verdi's Shakespeare operas...there are three: Macbeth, Otello, and Falstaff.

    What! No Wagner? Brünnhilde is a powerful woman, although her extreme jealousy (worse than Tosca's) brings out her treachery, and she commits suicide at the end by riding her stallion into the flames of her husband's funeral pyre.

      She loved the immolation scene because a woman saves the world.

      Walter Benjamin Ever changeable when asked by interviewers about her favourite opera, she alternately cited The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, while stressing that Fidelio ‘gave her the most hope’, with its story of a political prisoner freed by spousal virtue. Ginsburg considered Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene from Götterdämmerung proof that a woman is needed to rescue mankind, akin to Minnie’s heroic efforts in Puccini’s Fanciulla del West; whereas she described Carmen’s Seguidilla as merely skilful ‘plea bargaining’.

    Liu stabs herself ... She is not tortured to death. Saying so completely negates her sacrifice for Calaf.
