This scores a Keyboard Beverage Event. >There was a beautiful young girl in back of me who said, "Did you recognize that music?" ANd she hummed a few bars of the Valkyrie theme that winds in and out of the first two acts. I said, "Yes, it's the Ride of the Valkyries and you'll hear it bigtime in the next act. It's why everyone is staying." She said, disappointed, "Oh, I thought it was the Star Wars theme."<

<<The biggest problem for a modern audience was the bathroom situation after two acts. >> I have my biggest problem, well the most urgent, solved tomorrow. My buddy is picking up my Jeep while I'm taking the wife to the doctors. Jeep has a nail in one of the tires and wife has a doctors appointment. Her brace is all wrong. Funny how sometimes the size of the problem makes it seem different.

Wull, didn't YOU have a ram's horn helmet to wear? I love those helmets. If I was forced to attend an opera, like at knife-point, I'd surely want a ram's horn helmet to complete my attire. One should always wear ram's horns when one is out smiting and slaying.

Speaking of long lines at women's rooms and bluehaired matrons... It has become pretty common in NYCity for women who find a long line at the ladies' to simply use the gents', which never has a line, posting a guard at the door if it isn't a locking room. This is more an upper west side or Village or off-Broadway phenomenon than an upper east side one; but it is no longer surprising anywhere in NYC, I suspect. This practice hasn't caught on upstate, where I live, though. A while ago, I went with friends to a play given by a local theater group. Come intermission, I find myself on the end of a long line, and I see that the line runs right past the door of a men's room in front of which there is no line at all. So, saying "Excuse me, excuse me," I work my way between the line of women and the wall up to the door to the men's room, knock on the door (just in case), get no answer, open the door, check to see that it is possible to lock it, and walk on in. Before the door closes behind me, though, I hear an elderly woman say to her friend, in an excited whisper, "That must be one of those lesbians!"

Opera 'seats' a relief to ladies Fiachra Gibbons, Arts Correspondent Monday December 6, 1999 It may be touch and go as to whether the sets will work for the inaugural opera tonight, and some of the regulars are furious about the opening celebrations - one for the toffs and one for the punters - but the Royal Opera House has at least made half the population happy. For the new Covent Garden has more than three times as many women's lavatories as men's, solving at a stroke the age-old gripe about long queues to the ladies' loos.
