He also sang several roles with the New York City Opera during the 1980s and 1990s, including Nourabad in "The Pearl Fishers" and Raimondo in "Lucia di Lammermoor". Sonia Ganassi (born 1966) is an Italian mezzo-soprano.  Born in Reggio Emilia, she made her debut as Rosina in Rossini’s "The Barber of Seville" in Rome in 1992.  She has performed in many of the world’s famous opera houses including the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, the Royal Opera House in London and the Teatro alla Scala, Milan.  She is best known for her work in the bel canto repertoire.  Her roles in Rossini operas include Elisabetta in "Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra" (ROF, 2004), Elena in "La donna del lago (Lady of the Lake)" (Rossini in Wildbad, 2006), "Ermione" (ROF, 2008), and Elcia in "Mosè in Egitto" (ROF, 2011).  In 2009 she participated in a live recording of Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem conducted by Antonio Pappano (EMI Classics 6 98936 2). La fanciulla del West ("The Girl of the West") is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by and , based on the play "The Girl of the Golden West" by the American author David Belasco.  "Fanciulla" followed "Madama Butterfly", which was also based on a Belasco play.  The opera has fewer of the show-stopping highlights that are characteristic of other Puccini works, but is admired for its impressive orchestration and for a score that is more melodically integrated than is typical of his previous work.  "Fanciulla" displays influences from composers Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss, without being in any way imitative.  Similarities between the libretto and the work of Richard Wagner have also been found, though some attribute this more to the original plot of the play, and have asserted that the opera remains quintessentially Italian. The Girl of the Golden West is a 1938 musical western film.  It was adapted from the play of the same name by David Belasco, better known for providing the plot of the opera "La fanciulla del West" by Giacomo Puccini.  A frontier woman falls in love with an outlaw. Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo has officially sung 147 roles in Italian, French, German, English, Spanish and Russian.  His main repertoire however is Italian ("Otello", Cavaradossi in "Tosca", "Don Carlo", Des Grieux in "Manon Lescaut", Dick Johnson in "La fanciulla del West", Radames in "Aida"), French ("Faust", "Werther", Don José in "Carmen", Samson in "Samson et Dalila"), and German ("Lohengrin", "Parsifal", and Siegmund in "Die Walküre").  Domingo currently continues to add more operas to his repertoire.  Since 2009, he has moved substantially into the baritone repertoire, especially focusing on Verdi baritone roles.  In 2015, he made his most recent debuts as Macbeth at the Berliner Staatsoper, Don Carlo in "Ernani" at the Metropolitan Opera, and Gianni Schicchi at the Los Angeles Opera.  Tim Page, a Pulitzer Prize-winner for music criticism, described Domingo in a 1996 "Washington Post" article as "the most versatile, intelligent and altogether accomplished operatic tenor now before the public." Frank Guarrera (December 3, 1923 – November 23, 2007) was an Italian-American lyric baritone who enjoyed a long and distinguished career at the Metropolitan Opera, singing with the company for a total of 680 performances.  He performed 35 different roles at the Met, mostly from the Italian and French repertories, from 1948 through 1976.  His most frequent assignments at the house were as Escamillo in Georges Bizet's "Carmen", Marcello in Giacomo Puccini's "La Bohème", Valentin in Charles Gounod's "Faust", and Ping in Puccini's "Turandot".  He was also an admired interpreter of Mozart roles, establishing himself in the parts of both Guglielmo and Don Alfonso in "Così fan tutte" and Count Almaviva in "Le nozze di Figaro".  Most of the roles he portrayed were from the lyric repertoire, such as the title role in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin", but he also sang some heavier roles at the Met like Amonasro in "Aïda", Jack Rance in "La fanciulla del West" and Il conte di Luna in "Il trovatore". Rolando Panerai (born 17 October 1924) is an Italian baritone, particularly associated with the Italian repertory.  He was born in Campi Bisenzio, near Florence, Italy and studied with Frazzi in Florence and Armani and Giulia Tess in Milan.  Panerai made his stage debut in 1947 in Naples at the Teatro di San Carlo as the pharaon in Rossini's "Mosè in Egitto".  Other debuts, both in 1951, were as Simon Boccanegra in "Simon Boccanegra" in Bergamo and as Sharpless in "Madama Butterfly" at La Scala in Milan.  He sang in many rarely performed Verdi operas on radio broadcast for RAI in 1951 (to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Verdi's death), such as "Giovanna d'Arco", "La battaglia di Legnano", and "Aroldo".  Later roles included most of the great Verdi baritone roles, particularly the title character in "Rigoletto", The Count of Luna in "Il trovatore", Giorgio Germont in "La traviata", Marquis of Posa in "Don Carlos", Amonasro in "Aida". Mosè in Egitto ("Moses in Egypt)" (] ) is a three-act opera written by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola, which was based on a 1760 play by Francesco Ringhieri, "L'Osiride".  It premièred on 5 March 1818 at the recently reconstructed Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Italy. "Ch'ella mi creda" is a tenor aria from act 3 of the opera "La fanciulla del West" by Giacomo Puccini.  It is the tenor aria sung by Dick Johnson (a.k.a. the bandit "Ramerrez") before he is to be executed by a lynch mob of gold prospectors led by Sheriff Jack Rance.  In the aria, Johnson asks them not to tell Minnie, whom he loves, that he has been killed.  Instead, he asks them to "let her believe" (the title phrase, "ch'ella mi creda") that he is far away, on the road to redemption from his bandit past. "All I Ask of You" is a song performed by Cliff Richard and Sarah Brightman during the 1986 English musical "The Phantom of the Opera".  It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and produced by Lloyd Webber.  The duet was meant for characters Christine Daaé and Raoul during the stage musical.  An operatic pop piece, its lyrics serve as dialogue between the two characters and discuss themes such as commitment and romance.  During the stage performance of "All I Ask of You", Steve Barton performs as the role of Raoul instead of Richard.  Like Lloyd Webber's song "The Music of the Night", "All I Ask of You" was compared to the music found in Giacomo Puccini's 1910 opera "La fanciulla del West".
