4. I prefer the finale to Götterdämmerung

I was thinking...y'know... going into some cosmic structure.

I love "Tosca". My fave Puccini. What a soap!

There's this hysterical legend that gets passed around backstage at operas everywhere (I used to do wardrobe) about some rather Rubinesque soprano (the name changes) who screeches her last phrase and leaps off the scenery onto a bunch of cushions, and bounces back up above the wall.
I love it.
Who cares if it's false....what an image!

Ahhhh.... opera. "An irrational entertainment". I admit I have a preference for 18th century opera, and earlier. I love the stylization of it. I love unrealistic stylized theatre. I really go for dance.

Anyway, the cosmos is violent and beautiful.
