Mrs. Noah from Hotel Eden

Mrs. Noah is about middle-aged love. It centers around the relationship between Noah and his wife, Mrs. Noah, a name she hates being called. In this lighthearted aria, she complains that, everywhere she visits, people call her Mrs. Noah. She mentions different locations that she has been in the world: France, Genoa, Samoa, along the Mississippi, Hawaii, and Shenandoah. With these places, the music changes to reflect musical styles native to each location. At the end of the aria, she pleads to be called by her "real name," Rosalyn! Mrs. Noah is the aria from Act II of the three-act chamber opera "Hotel Eden."
