Can't be by Verdi anyway. It's singular - one vesper only!

[mikehopf]

Thank for pointing this out. Is there any way that we can make amend?

[eschiss1]

Not in general, not without our attorneys.

(no, no, no, no, not being serious, just a weak late and a dollar short attempt at a pun...)

[Alan Howe]

Well, I've altered the thread title...

[mikehopf]

How frustrating! Either the Lindpaintner opera was not broadcast or I got the timing wrong.
Either way, could some kind opera-tragic who managed to record this much sought after work please put it up on the site.

BTW, my last post was simply meant to show how some words like vesper, amend  and thank  are usually used in the plural.
The event depicted in the opera is always known as " The Sicilian Vespers ". 
Vesper was used as a single noun in Old English but nowadays only as an adjective as in Vesper Bell.

[Alan Howe]

Fair enough.
Has anyone managed to record the opera?
And here's some more info about the composer:

[Mark Thomas]

Sorry, Mike, I didn't record this one.

[mikehopf]

Colin! Where are you when we really need you?

[BerlinExpat]

No panic Mike. I have all 176 minutes of it! If you can be a little patient I'll convert it to mp3 and post it! It will come out on CD, probably from Naxos, as with past productions from the Rossini in Wildbad Festival. But in the meatime UC can enjoy it, and like me, wonder why it has slumbered for so long.

Oh quite. My point was that the title of Lindpaintner's opera, however it would be rendered in English, is grammatically singular - hence it could not be confused with Verdi's which is grammatically plural.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Or, indeed, grammatically. 

[mikehopf]

Colin, you are a Prince among men!

[Alan Howe]

Or, indeed, grammatically.

Oops. Blushes. Duly corrected, sir!

[Alan Howe]

This link (in German) confirms that the performance will be coming out on CD:
