| Location | Los Angeles, California, United States |

| Introduction | I am an extremely cranky opera fan who writes long, often ranting reviews of the operas I see. Since LA isn't exactly the opera capital of the world, I'll sometimes supplement the opera reviews with reviews of opera recordings or DVDs. Or not. I have no musical training and am somewhat tone-deaf, so take my musical pronouncements with a grain of salt. |
