I wonder that Alffe might be having a late night on Tuesday. I just looked up the opera in wiki (that's pedia not leaks ) and it says it is one of the longest operas performed today. Approx. 4 1/2 hours. It also says it's a comedy. A Wagner comedy - that's like polar opposites to me but I don't know too much about opera.

I wonder and hope that everyone is safe and sound and doing alright during the freezing weather over there.

I wonder at feeling a little guilty actually because it's an absolutely glorious day here in paradise.
