15. I was just listening to the Met Opera Andea Chenier yesterday. Grim as can be. The French machine (not on stage)

Yesterday

And the quiz concerned “in which opera are the most people killed”.

As a pacifist, my blood was curdling. (The worst was Dialogues of the Camelites) which I can’t listen to or even think of.

I almost universally detest opera plots but they were the “soap operas” of their day.

The Buddha’s first sermon was “The World is on Fire” … and things haven’t changed. May be worse.
