Programme Note

Composer Note:
The soprano aria Where is the Old Warm World occurs early in Act I after Tom Buchanan receives a call from his “woman in New York”. Daisy and Tom are both clearly agitated by the phone call, and when Tom excuses himself, Nick tries to lighten the mood by asking Daisy about her daughter. Daisy replies with this aria, in which she expresses a deep dissatisfaction with her present life and a longing for the romance of her youth
— John Harbison
