As you know, my wife is out of town. So I did this today. Happy Friday!
Aida’s assaulted and attacked and angers Amneris
Also Andrea Chenier agitates all Paris
But Billy Budd’s bod by Benjamin Britten
Is Bangin’ and Boomin’. Opera bug has bitten.
Callas can clearly communicate Carmen
And Cecilia’s Cosi is iconically charming
Don Pasquale, Don Carlos, Don Giovanni
Disgruntled Donna Anna doesn’t dare date Donny.
Elvira’s escapades aren’t in any way effective
Elektra’s escalating energy is elective.

But Handel has hella high notes you hold longer
I insist it’s time for Idomeneo
It isn’t identical to plain Imeneo
Julius Caesar’s job just was jacked
Jenufa jumped when her jowels were attacked
Konstanze is kickin’ in K.384
Der Kaiser von Atlantis kept the killer at the door.
Leo’s Lakme leaves loot and licks leaves
Later lonely Lammermoor’s Lucia laments and grieves.
Missus MacBeth made murder her method
Madama Butterfly might have made it if she met him.
Nixon, Nabucco, Nemorino, Norma
No one needs you nerds, if you’re not nailin’ Nessun Dorma!
Otello ought to open his eyes before it’s over
Oh-oh, Onegin openly ogles Olga.
People don’t play when they perform Pagliacci
Puccini put poor Pinkerton in Nagasaki.
Quit quaking, it’s the Queen of the Night
Quickly quacking quavers at a questionable height
Rigoletto ran for revenge on a rapist
Das Rheingold starts the Ring with the rapturous Rhinemaidens
Sparafucil stabs and slashes in the storm
Somebody should have stopped Scarpia when he was scorned.
Tosca told him take a time-out
And tryin’ ta teach Tamino is like talking to a trout
Ulrica’s upset, but she understands the underworlds
Unexpectedly, Uncle Buoso has upended us.
Verdi vetted Venice and wrote Violetta Valery
Various vocalists voice vampires and Valkyries.
Wait, what? Why would Wagner start with W?
When you’re not German, well you wanna let it trouble you.
Xenia starts with x as expected.
Xerxes got an extra x; he double-x’ed it.
You might yell at young Yamadori,
But yo, Yeletsky is a prince from yet another story
Zany Zerbinetta, zesty Zerlina
If they had Die Zauberflöte they could zoom in and zap and save
Carmen from Jose and Zuniga!
