Hey Geraldine, soul in torment, it can't have been worse than an opera I saw
once on the building of the Sydney Opera House. (Eg: a scene around a
barbecue, singing: "We're going to build an opera house! we're going to
build an opera house! we're going to build an opera house!" and so on and so
on, per ardua ad nauseam).
Well, maybe it could have been worse, though I doubt it, even with 3000
fucks. You couldn't fit many more words in there, could you? Libretti
don't have a lot of space for words. In such cases, individual censorship
(walking out or turning off the tv) is a matter of civic duty.
All the best
