By coincidence I was working in Pesaro in the summer of '68 (good title
for a movie and not entirely inapp...but I digress) which was the centenary
of Rossini's death (he was born in Pesaro) and that year they put on what
eventually became the annual (should really be every four years, as GR was
born on Feb 29) festival.

I recall a song recital and a production of the Barber which started after
dinner and finished around 2 a.m.
