Also, re Battle's "personal demons": 

Since I usually separate the art from the artist, I have to say that the Met telecast video of these two ladies in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos is essential viewing. Pure magic. Those performances will pop off the screen right into your lap. I hold that one on a level with the Zeffirelli Falstaff.



That Ariadne is one for the ages. Perhaps the best Met production I watched during the pandemic.

I don't know how anyone can do Wordle quickly. Whenever I try it, it seems to take me a long time.

Silly rabbit, there’s no need to talk of speed. Your own pace, glacial though it be, is fine.

All this talk of classical music and opera.......I certainly think when it comes to culture, HHW is one of the first hogs to the trough.

Thanks to MR BK for the shout out in the notes.  I know that Paul MD'd at least two very popular and very well received SS shows when he was in Indy......Assassins & Company.....and there may have been more.

Company was running upstairs when I was directing a show downstairs and we got to hear a lot of it going on.....it was sublime.

Well the judge gave Alex Murdaugh quite the smack down this morning......I'm sure it will be on the inner web if you want to see it....sentence was TWO LIFE SENTENCES to run CONSECUTIVELY!

Of course Alex stood up and said he didn't do it.....HA!

TOD:

Not much. I'm way behind on movie watching. Got a stack of things ready to enjoy.

Been listening to this CD in the car, in anticipation of the performance I'm seeing on Sunday. Enjoying following the score, and thank God for my 1965-bought Modern Library Six Plays by Rodgers & Hammerstein, because I'd never even read ALLEGRO. (I sure didn't know how to care for a dust jacket back then, but I'm glad I have it, and the book is near perfect.)

Last night's dream began in a spot I haven't been to in a decade or more, the parking area at the Danbury Mall at the end where Sears once reigned supreme, where you'd take your car for tires or a battery, and where I most often parked when just going into Sears. The dream location then kind of morphed into an airport terminal parking area, which makes sense for the dream, but it very definitely started as that Sears parking area.

So just now I'm glancing at my Facebook feed, and there's the local newspaper with a link to their article today:  "Target is planning a new entrance plaza and a redesigned parking lot for its new two-level store at the mall". I'd heard that they're taking over much of the original Sears section, but not that they'd be expanding into that parking area. Like I said, I haven't been there in years, nor have I given it any thought lately. I was sad when Sears gave up the ghost (just as I was for Montgomery Ward and many many others that have bought the farm these past couple of decade), but that was some time ago.

So now I have this dream about that very location, or micro location, then see the news story about that very spot just hours later. After all of these years. Hmm...

It looks like The Group Rep has got a stage version of Harold and Maude up on the boards. Intriguing.
