\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Some of you may have heard this clip, but it is so bizarre I
\\xa0 felt COMPELLED to upload it as a single podcast clip. I was
\\xa0\\xa0seated in the New York State Theatre at the debut of soprano
\\xa0 Ashley Putnam as Violetta, when, as you will hear, just before
\\xa0 tenor Henry Price was about to sing his act two aria, some insane
\\xa0 lady (as we later learned) let out a bloodcurdling Elektra geschrei\\xa0
\\xa0 and ran out of the theatre.\\xa0
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 The man next to me exclaimed, "Oh my Goddd!" as you
\\xa0\\xa0 will hear. To this day, we never learned what motivated this
\\xa0\\xa0 nutcase...but at least we have a "treasured memory" that will
\\xa0\\xa0 endure forever.
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 I used to play this clip for my schoolkids and they demanded
\\xa0 I play it over and over..some of them would even run up to
\\xa0 the CD player to hear the scream loud in their little ears.
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 So..you thought opera people (beside me,of course)
\\xa0 were NORMAL?????
