ABSTRACT
Opera-dont'cha hate it? Yes, I do hate opera. I hate having to organize my life six months in advance. I hate having to enclose stamped addressed envelopes. I hate everyone in the audience who knows less than me (they're fools). I hate everyone in the audience who knows more than me (they're pretentious). I hate everyone in front of me in the coffee queue. I hate Callas bores, Jessye Norman groupies, and everyone who
insists that the good recordings, are those which are so old that the music is inaudible.
