Most art song/opera gives me headaches. I've tried to come to some
accommodation with them with no results. I had one of the LA Phil's
Tristan evenings with my subscription last year and attended just to see
if I could handle it. I couldn't. From the moment the singers began,
I wished the whole misbegotten thing were over. I sprang for a ticket
to La Fenice in December 2004 to see if a historical venue and the warm
squishies of being in Venice would change anything. I left after the
first act.
