Only in San Francisco...

[katster]

From the SF Chronicle:

NOW HEAR THIS: Paul Groves, who was singing the role of Belmonte in Wednesday night's performance of "The Abduction From the Seraglio" at the San Francisco Opera, made his scheduled entrance onstage directly after the duet "Vivat Bacchus." Groves wasn't supposed to say anything, but made a slight departure from the libretto.

"Triumph, triumph!" he said, using appropriate numbers of fingers for those who couldn't understand German. "Giants, vier; Angels, drei." Laughter, applause and back to the show.

I love this city...we love our baseball and we love our other pleasures too.

Cool beans!

Although why "cool beans" should be an expression of approval, I don't know... ^_^

Sigh... Boston has a hopeless team, and our Opera House has been the home of bats and winos for too, too long. I went to the very last production ("Dead Souls," with half of the principals coming from the Kirov), and it was like visiting a former beauty queen in a nursing home.

Enjoy your San Fran!

current music: Lakota Sioux Indian Reservation - Medicine Wheel - Beneath The Stars

Very interesting! I study Nakota, a language *very* closely related to Lakota, so I'm always interested in anything Siouan. Tell me, are the lyrics in Lakota? And where'd you find this?
