Puccini has been on the list before, but after a long enough sabbatical, he went back onto the live listening rotation until my original antipathy had returned. Now there's no going back, and Tosca is a Victim all over again. Who cares if she jumps off that damned tower or not? Not me.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22361479.post-67173129320413273832012-10-30T21:04:16.615-07:002012-10-30T21:04:16.615-07:00Also, I too don't feel much urgency around att...Also, I too don't feel much urgency around attending another Tosca, though "fatwa" is a little strong for what I'm feelingPatrick J.
