That's what I was thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Are you asking if anyone has played the WHOLE opera? or just the famous opening song where they all merrily 'get drunk' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) and by the way, no I have never played any of it on any instrument but love watching it/listening to it

Rearranged/edited? or in orignal form and full length work? Assuming the latter, not easy - what orchestral music is? - and it's quite a longish work (over 2 hours), so plenty of stamina too!! You can download (in PDF format) the orchestral score from HERE

Ive volunteered to play, although I may not be chosen yet and just hope if I am Im not out of my depth with it as theres only 5 violins so I have to be able to play it!. Im not sure if edited or not, its for a good amature operatic group.

Always worth listening to a recording (available from a local library if you don't have your own) and following the score before rehearsals start. This will at least familiarise you with what else is going on in the music, as well as giving some indication of the tempo.
