Don’t you hate it when you tune into the afternoon opera program on your favorite classical station, and you’re waiting and waiting for the first person to sing at the beginning of an act, but the music goes on and on without it happening? I know I do.
It goes on longer, and you start rolling your eyes in annoyance, then start harrumphing in disbelief that an intro could go on so long — all before realizing they’re airing a ballet today and not an opera.
Don’t hate me but I’m just the opposite. I change the station when singing (opera or otherwise) comes on the Classical station I’m listening to. I guess it’s because I just want it to be the background to my thoughts.
