But did you watch wrestling?

An opera about wrestling. Now THAT would be something.

I haven't checked out the opera adaptation of Streetcar.

Consider yourself blessed.

Yes, fortunately you enjoy such mediocre-to-mixed figures as Dittersdorf and Elgar.


I love mediocre-to mixed fugures like Ditterdorf and Elgar, only to me they are not ehhhhh mediocre. Now, now, leave your dogs at home my man! ;D

It's just not my thing. But I still love horror/gore movies (ZOMBIES!) and fun stuff like that.

Apparently not when you're messing with his Mozart opera thread.  ;D

No, no, my friend this is not Karl's thread (t), rather its mine. ;D

Darnit. I bet if Karl were at your house, he'd sit in your chair and smoke your favorite pipe as well.

Hey, I co-wrote a zombie novella. Go check out my profile and see if you can find the book cover.  ;D It's reeeeal purty.

If only starters of a thread would be able to clear up the mess once in a while, not Harry?  8)

As messes go, this one is comparatively benign.

Que, would you be so kind to explain this sentence to me, I would be much oblidged.

I can and will close the thread if I think the mess is beyond what this thread is about.

Harry, something tells me you might enjoy this DVD, a 1992 production of Così fan tutte conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, filmed at the Théâtre du Châtelet.  I bought a copy for a friend, with whom I watched a bit, and it's excellent.

I didn't think of it when you posted your original query.  Gardiner and his English Baroque Soloists are very authentic, and you might (repeat, might) like the voices better.  The production is fantastic.
