Hats off!

of Sondheim’s Follies is currently on sale on Amazon for an astonishing $4.99.
“Pity that it’s not a hurricane”
Since this lyric will not be sung in the Broadway revival of Follies this weekend (the performances are canceled), La Cieca has decided to invite the cher public to share their own favorite operatic hurricanes, storms and tempests. Your doyenne will start you off, after the jump.
