For those who might not keep track of what's on TV, there's a one-hour
documentary on PBS at 10 p.m. EST Thursday 20 December, about Anthony and
Sally Amato and the opera company and shadowbox opera house that grew out
of their shared passion for the art - The Amato Opera, which has had its
home in Greenwich Village in New York since 1948 (my mother remembers
going to operas there when she was a _jeune Villageoise_ in black tight in
the late '50s), and which has been the first real opera performance venue
for a number of International-class singers...including Neil Shicoff, who
sang his first Don Jose there. :)

Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sound.
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.
