Some observations from tonight’s performance of *The Barber of Seville* by the Canadian Opera Company in #Toronto…
— Since when do opera performances start with the national anthem? #PlayBall
— Gioachino Rossini pens a banger of an overture.
— Applauding after a number doesn’t get you exiled to Calgary any more, apparently.
— I always like the end of the opera. You know, when the curtain falls and the orchestra quits playing and everybody stops singing? I *love* that part.
