How about one from opera? Mezzo-soprano Jennifer Larmore just sang the title role in Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella) at the Atlanta Opera, and even though she’s from Atlanta, this was her Atlanta Opera debut. She was terrific! There’s a solo CD of hers in our catalog.

Those both are good additions. If your interested in this post, you might check out AJC's post on "Who's Your Hometown Grammy Pick". I missed T.I. and Rihanna . The Library has music from both of these hometown artists.
