This Night At The Opera Was More Like A Day At The Races!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Next to "The Glass Menagerie," the most hyped cultural event of the Season, darlings, has been the Metropolitan Opera's Season Opener of "Eugene Onegin."  So, when this finally took the stage just three days ago, this Monday, there was as much drama off stage as on.

                                           Queer Nation, lead by Sister Lotti Da, (wonder if she knows Sister Camille??????) showed up, to protest the Metropolitan Opera' presentation of this work, and its performers, director, and such, who feel it advocates  Russia's recent anti-gay policies.  When the lights went down, before the performance could begin, protesters began yelling out remarks.  Security was called in to silence the hecklers, and dismiss others, who went quietly.

                                              Each season the Met hypes something.  Last Spring it was The Ring Cycle.  One year, and I went, it was "Lucia Di Lammermoor."  I had been curious about 'Onegin,' but, after the protest, I too shall stay away.  Something else could have been found to open the Met.  Why should I endorse a corporate greed that advocates hetereosexist policies???????????????

                                                I wonder who the VOQ's (Vicious Opera Queens) were madder at--those violating their gay civil rights, or those interrupting their opera performance?????????  Probably the latter!!!!!!!!  You just do NOT mess with those Vicious Opera Queens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                  Any more than one would mess with me!!!!!!!!!!  But who would?????????
