We had this story out ciselled from the stone plates many hundred years ago as obsolete story. Nobody knows if it was true & nobody knows if it happen in Mexico, Spain or (help me, where are they doing deadly bull fight also, I got it), Colombia (where I saw my first bull fight 1969). Ha, ha, ho, ho.
We had our first stage rehearsal for the new Rigoletto this morning. The producer explained: "You all kno Planet of Apes, right, you also know Star Wars, right. Here in the play monkeys have toppled the government on a far away planet where the Astronauts (Rigoletto & Gilda) had emergency landed. The monkey have taken over all opera houses." There I (unpolitely as allways) I interrupted the lady with: "Means a true story ????" Big, big laughter, Zubin had to cover his face for laughter, but the face of our director became frozen. The whole team fell on hysterical laughter. I do not mind modern productions, but when the monkeys swirl around the stage, scratching their asses permanently, rubbing their asses on each other or simulate copulation as drastic as possible, I have no understanding about the necessity of such bad taste & offense. More after the premiere on Feb.21st. Watch news about that in Google.

Reminds me of the story of the tourist eating at a Mexican restaurant, when he saw them deliver what looked like a double filet mignon to the diner at the next table. He remarked to the waiter how delicious it looked. The waiter told him it was the house special, but only one order, once a week. It was the testicles of the bull from that afternoon's bull fight. It looked so good, he got the waiter to reserve the next weeks special for him. He came back the next week with great anticipation, and was very disappointed when he saw the portion was much smaller. He called the waiter back and questioned him. The waiter sighed sadly and said, "Sometime, the bull, he win". _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka.d e _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
