BITTEN BY THE OPERA BUG

posted by James Reel

    We in Tucson have long held that Phoenix is Arizona’s own Hellmouth, and here’s further evidence: A soprano engaged by the Phoenix Symphony for a concert opera is savaged by an army of bedbugs at the Hilton, no less. This is no place for entomologists; time to call in a slayer. The soprano's lawyer says, “She looks like a piece of wood that has been attacked by termites.” Which means she now resembles the average tenor trying to act.
