Europeans held hostage in their own land?

"I thought it was only the French who are being held hostage by the
foreigners living amongst them.

Today, we learned that Germany is as fearful of their immigrants as
well."

It was a decision on the part of the opera house. They were urged
by the government not to cancel.

Don't be surprised if there's a protest or someone from that opera gets
the 'fatwa.'

Presumably, they could have simply omitted the part with the severed
heads.

That's a common problem with opera singers. I put it down to them not
being able to eat their main meal until very late.

ROTFL

Not a problem for everybody... I lost 3 Kg when rehearsing for "Nabucco".
Singing is a great exercise.

Hey- I didn't know you sang! Next time we meet, we should do a duet! I
have the bleating baritone voice typical of many male composers!

Of course not! That would be like amputating the limbs of the limbs of
the opera. You don't do that with art, you know...
You either show the whole piece or you show nothing at all...
