Musical Interlude: Every so often I listen to an opera. One of my faves is "The Jewels of the Madonna," by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, which centers on a group of Camorra outlaws in Naples, and was controversial (even now) for a semi-incestuous love story between a man and his adopted sister, implied criticism of the Catholic church, sacrilegious acts performed by the characters, and best of all, an on-stage orgy. Hey, who says opera is staid and stodgy?
Anyway, here's a lovely piece that played between acts...
"Intermezzo, from I gioielli della Madonna," composed by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
