    5) On my team, David Starobin, because he could set picks; and David Robertson, to run the offense.

    Against: Glass, Adams, and Reich, because I bet they'd argue amongst themselves no end.

    Cilea, "L'Arlesiana" (with Jonas Kaufmann)
    Bizet, "Djamileh"
    Hanson, "Merry Mount"
    Vivaldi, "Judita Triumphans" (ok, ok, it's an oratorio)
    Ponchielli, "I Lituani"
