Julian Patrick’s comic roles for Seattle Opera included Gianni Schicchi, Dr. Dulcamara, and Don Magnifico in La Cenerentola. Here, in Magnifico’s ridiculous entrance aria “Miei rampolli femminini,” this fatuous old man interprets his dream as predicting wealth and fame for his vain daughters and dozens of grandchildren for him. Yves Abel conducts the orchestra of Seattle Opera.
