Today in culture: "The world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's 'Anna Nicole' will be presented by the Royal Opera next Feb. 17, starring Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek as the late model and Playboy playmate." Your "La donna immobile" joke goes here.
La Westbroek (seen in here in the title role of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.)
"La donna è mobile," please.
I think he calls them the way he sees them.
Quaaludes al vento.
One here would be inclined to change "muta" to "puta" -- but I shall not!

Annnnd....it's over.
Turnage wrote an opera called "Greek" that is a version of Oedipus set in 1940s London. The best line in the show (and perhaps the greatest opera line ever written) is:
"With me own mum? I'd sooner go down on Hitler!"
The Barbiturates Of Seville?
The Magic Lude?
'Horning Becomes Electra'
Hooterdammerung.
Ludelu.
