For Musical Theatre you could use "Les Misérables", based on the novel by Victor Hugo (of which a spoken word version – in english – is in the DB) or "Oliver!" (of which an audiobook version – in german – is also already in MB).
For Opera one could also think of "Wozzeck" or "Lulu" On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 7:42 PM, symphonick <symphon...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2013/2/21 caller#6 <meatbyproduct-musicbra...@yahoo.com> > >> >> The "All Delighted People" example is maybe a grey area?
