Classical Music
NEW YORK - Patricia Racette had just sung her moving final notes in "Suor Angelica" and fallen to the stage.
                                                                    
                                        WASHINGTON - The world ended on a stage devoid of scenery or special effects, just a soprano in a dark sequined dress singing of redemption and love.
                                                                    
                                        LONDON - Mona Webster had two passions: birds and music.
                                                                    
                                        NEW YORK - Launching its comeback in perilous financial times, the New York City Opera might well have played it safe with a surefire crowd-pleaser, like its production of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly."
But Puccini's lush melodies will have to wait until spring.
