I can't believe you think about stuff like that when you're at the opera! I know you're a doctor, but... ;) Maybe they need the neck to hold on to, like Salome. I prefer without the "t". I think there must be a movement towards using the final t, though, as my opera friends are starting to correct me these days.

I heard their Met broadcast and even at 19 I knew it could never get better than this. So I live Turnadot in my imagination. No other could tempt me. I agree the close up mania is awful. I have so many nice opera videos done well without such nonsense. At least they could give 2 versions.....click 1 for "closeup free".
