Sometimes when I’m feeling low I watch the video of the great Leontyne Price—still with us today at 99—taking in the THUNDEROUS applause for her big aria at her farewell performance of Aida at the Met in 1985. Incredible. (Skip to 7:00 if you just want that part.) youtu.be/L_56dQteAIY?...

At the show I saw tonight, a man in the audience *screamed* at the person next to them to turn off their distracting phone—which was itself EXTREMELY distracting. Granted, he’s probably mentally ill. But it’s always interesting when the policing does more damage than the crime.

Reminder: The Sound of Music is neither realistic nor remotely historically accurate. The characters sing and dance. They all speak in English. In real life, Georg married Maria in 1927, and they’d had two kids together by the time they left Austria (to Italy by train, not over the Alps by foot).
