Wiener Staatsoper 2-1-1

The score is now 2-1-1, with Tosca being counted as a draw. The
tenor kind of wasn't doing too hot, the soprano was really good, and
the only thing we agree on regarding the baritone playing Scarpia is
that he was really, ridiculously, impressively loud - louder than a
huge chorus and string (and horn maybe?) section playing HIS melody
in UNISON. Nuts. He also looked like a silly man in a red cape if
you ask me.

We're prettymuch in the full swing of things here, which is to say
insanely busy. Here's next week:
