To be fair, I don’t expect the sex in Nico’s opera to be particularly “hot,” in any conventional sense…

Aren’t Romeo & Juliet underage? Can they fund raise for that? Somehow I thought hot sex sold lots of tickets, did something change?

Yeah, Pinkerton impregnates a fifteen-year-old Cio-Cio-San, but that doesn’t prevent “Madama Butterfly” from being performed all too often.

Thanks for this – especially your comments about having editors.
And since when is underage sex a deal breaker? I think that anonymous opera director just isn’t asking the right people for money, is all.
best,

Don’t YOU ever wonder who listens to your music, Nico?

Underage sex. Please. Sarcasm intended with emphasis on “please” i.e. “bitch please;” begging sounding phrase not intended.

Seriously though. You must do. Don’t you ever think who might go out of their way to listen to Pillaging Music, and Mothertongue, and Step Town, etc?

Yikes.

Nico,
I agree that the transportation of the piece is indeed characteristic of artist more-als.. but I must add notice and remind you of artists– sculptors, painters in rural Ohio, or even LA that have obstacles beyond city life, whose creative technique at times may request a vehicle, anything– to just mooove their work from one place-to-the-next.

Enjoy Vermont and the holiday weekend.
I know similarly, your experience of traditional and beautiful …American parades.

Happy Iceland. 🙂

IMHO, there’s never enough crotale.

This is the appropriate vehicle for Nico's music.
