Yesterday, the radio opera was Puccini’s “Turandot” in an archived broadcast studded with stars from my youth. I always subconsciously expect it to be longer than it is, and I think that may be because the casting for it, especially the principal soprano, require singers capable of singing Wagner, whose operas are notoriously long. Anyway, it received rave reviews at the time, and rightly so.
From Democratic Underground. Video in Italian with English titles. No telling how much, if any, impact it will have. But he’s not wasting time.
This from goodgoodgood – well, you’ll see. As much time and energy as we have all probably sped worrying about 3D “printed” guns, this reallt is a ray of sunshine.
