Glyndebourne is on our list of "things that Zildians in England should do before they leave". It's also on the "not this year" sublist as well as the "and jeez does it cost an arm and a leg!" sublist. This sublist is rather long ...

For the hell of it I found a site about the plot of the opera. I shouldn't have bothered. http://www.jdlh.palo-alto.ca.us/perform/roles/pagliacci96.html

Well, you're right about that, Bill. No one should take the plot of an opera seriously. If you think I Pagliacci has a strange plot, you should look into Il Trovatore. That one was spoofed by Gilbert & Sullivan twice -- once in Ruddigore and once in HMS Pinafore.
