Thanks for your thoughtful answer. I'm a big fan of the Requiem and a small fan of the La Traviata. I absolutely love Wagner's Mastersingers--Falstaff's comparable to that?!? One of the most warm and glowing operas ever written. I guess I'll just have to check it out. It sounds like you're saying that Falstaff's what they call "through-composed"--endless melody music vs. strophic. I can handle this, R Strauss and even Barber's Vanessa, (recently released on Chandos SACD), are through-composed, but their orchestrations and compositional ideas more than make up for lack of 'big themes.' It's just hard to imagine Verdi keeping it going without big themes--but I'll stop talking and just give it a listen. : )
