I’m up against deadline, so today I merely recognize the birthday of Ambroise Thomas (1811-1897), director of the Paris Conservatory from 1871 until his death, with the aria “Je suis Titania la blonde” from “Mignon.”
“There is good music, there is bad music, and then there is Ambroise Thomas.” – Emmanuel Chabrier
