  Isn’t Weisgall’s tuner where “I am sixteen, going on seventeen” appears?

  Aw c’mon, die Blinde! They’ve had singles nights at the Met and even GAY singles nights! Anything to rope in the crowds is fair game. I’m almost embarrassed to be going to Esther on a Friday night, when of course it will be very nearly Judenfrei, myself excepted.

  (And the gays won’t be there that night because Luca Pisaroni is singing a fascinating recital program at Weill Hall that night that I wished I’d known about before I arranged my press seats.)

  I think we need to have a Parterre Box night at the opera.

  Since the music of ESTHER is not worth much, talking will be permitted during the performance to encourage possible matches among attendees.

  For those of you who would prefer to stay home, here’s a splendid quiz. The answers have already been posted on Youtube.

  Seating is in the fourth ring, so if you meet a nice Jewish doctor he will either be a medical student or not such a good catch.

  I remember reading that at the Met singles nights the box office sold single tickets, or would that be singles tickets, asking if you were buying for a man or woman, and were seating accordingly: male and female they created them. Does anyone know if at the gay events they were asking, top or bottom?

  Boy are those kids in for a surprise.

  For them, Hugo Weisgall will turn out to be the Bernie Madoff of composers.

  “Since the music of ESTHER is not worth much …”

  What are your credentials for this callous dismissal?
