Ragtime Trovatore.

Goldfinch60



The smile came early in the morning.

Listening to the radio,

Reading poetry,

When this tune came over the air.

I knew that tune,

But not played like that.

It is from an opera,

An opera I know so well,

Just excerpts from it.

There is the Anvil Chorus,

It is Il Trovatore,

An opera I know so well

But I have never heard it

Played like this.

I had to smile,

As they played the opera,

In Ragtime!

    Andy,
    A great write along with a wonderful video! ā€œIl Trovatoreā€ is a great one! I saw a performance of it not too long ago by a local group of opera singers! It was fantastic!
