“Die Frau ohne Stimme” — Opera without voices
Let’s make this one compound word:
diefrauohnestimme
The Messiah:
The first Black American man that wins the Queen Elizabeth Violin Competition (A Black American Woman would be too easy).
This is more along the lines of Mr. Lebrecht’s suggestion.
Note that in German you can find words like;
—
JonasKaufmannssingenunzufriedenheitssyndrom.
—
This (single word) would mean:
The Syndrome Resulting form the Unsatisfaction which is Provoked by Jonas Kaufmann’s Singing.
