  1. I was going to say snarkily "do I have to?" and then I noted that Susan Graham is Sycorax . . . which might be worth hearing? If I could manage not to be annoyed by the libretto?

    1. Well, (in the spirit of snarkcasm):
      1. No one said you HAD too!
      2. Yes, it could be well worth hearing Susan Graham (and Luca).
      3. Maybe you can just tune your text perception to "la la la"? (especially during the recits!)
      4. You didn't mention Wozzeck, but I think that one IS a must-listen!

    2. I may try the "la la la" approach! (And yes, Luca too - how could I forget?)

    3. Of course I got completely sidetracked this evening and completely forgot to tune in. Rats!

    4. And so did I. (I wish I had a job that did not take over my life all the time like my current one does....)
