Incorruptible is going well.

Great news.

The audience is probably a similar size to last night, but they seem to be enjoying a little more than last night's audience.

There's one moment in the first act where Father Charles confronts Jack, and because our Jack is so tall, the director had Charles do this visual joke:

We have a laugher in the audience tonight and she's helping others to laugh, too.

Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing, such as it was.

And it was such.

Thinking about having a tortilla with cheese - I've only had the two dogs, some low-fat cottage cheese, and a pudding cup.

Tortilla is only 120 calories and the cheese won't be much.

DETROIT!!!

DR MichaelG, did you grow up there, too? My family lived on the west side until I graduated from high school in 1968. My earliest TV memories are of Romper Room with Miss Ardis (Keneally) and, of course, Soupy Sales.

We also got kids programming from the Windsor, Ontario, Canada station CKLW. Johnny Ginger, Captain Jolly, Jingles.

DR Ginny, yes indeed. I was born in Detroit and grew up in the northwest suburbs. I remember CKLW much more for the radio than the TV!

Birds and Balls was excellent! They did the two operas back to back without intermission, linked by Howard Cosell commentary and backstage film with local opera celebrities, including Frederica von Stade!

Vinkensport, the "Bird" opera, was composed by David T. Little with libretto by Royce Vavrek. It focuses more on the different personalities of the people competing in finch singing, held captive by their "one ounce opera divas." Some are funny, some poignant, some a mix of both. I have now loved both of Little's pieces that I've heard so I need to seek out recording of others, including his JFK opera.

Balls was composed by Laura Karpman with libretto by Gail Collins. It of course places the Battle of the Sexes in the larger context of women's rights, with Susan B. Anthony playing a prominent role. Nikola Printz was particularly awesome as Billie Jean King, and has a great opening aria, "Pressure is a privilege. Pressure is the point." Nathan Granner was also wonderful as Bobby Riggs and as Hans Sachs's trainer in Vinkensport.

Opera Parallèle does great work in contemporary opera here. There are way too few comic operas in the repertoire, so it was great to have these two one-act operas making serious points in fun and funny ways.

I drove through Carl's Jr. on my way home tonight.

I got the Charbroiled Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich, and it wasn't too bad, except that I dripped on my jacket without realizing it because I was eating while driving at night.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** April 07, 2024, 12:00:16 AM »

Not the first time that that's happened.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** April 07, 2024, 12:01:00 AM »

It wasn't too bad, but if I have it again, I will, of course, eat it at the place and not eat it while driving.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** April 07, 2024, 12:04:40 AM »

And now that we're so close...
