Instead of working on our piece about Syrian refugees, Annie and I are going to go to the Black Lives Matter rally at Lloyd Center today. Radical Opera Company!

From a charming book by Edward Dent entitled, simply, "Opera" (published 1940): "At Naples, the headquarters of the operatic industry, a new type of opera was being evolved early in the eighteenth century-comic opera, or, as its authors called it, 'comedy in music.' Its characters were ordinary people, often people of humble life, talking the Neapolitan dialect, and singing the songs of the streets and the sea shore...when we perform an eighteenth-century comic opera now we see it as a period piece, with all the charm of quaint romance, whereas originally it was a play of modern life in modern dress."
