Super Teams Part 1
Super Teams in Opera Part #1
Since this summer, NBA teams started forming super teams. On the Rockets there is James Harden and Chris Paul, Thunder there is Westbrook, Carmelo-Anthony, and Paul George, Cavaliers have Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Love, and Golden State have Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thomson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguadala. With so many super teams emerging, it made me think about the super teams in opera. Below are just some productions of all star casts. There are many great opera casts, so there will be many more posts to come!
