Perhaps ALIEN (you know, that stupid thing without eyes who bursts out of people's chests) should be made into an opera too, with the alien voicing his evil intentions in a rich baritone while Lt Ripley comments nearby in a nice soprano. :P
It's actually a fake pidgeon, more because Ariadne actually has to kill the bird a few minutes after this portion than it is economy. I just watched the whole opera; interesting treatment.
did they carefully select a naturally hairy bloke to play the minatour, or was it just a happy coincidence? thta's one chesty mama doing some singing, byb the way
Which is why you need to get a life and figure out that melody isn't the only component in music; once you get past that basic misconception, then the rest falls in place remarkably well.
I see you're stalking me, Herr Wozzeck, with your thumbs-down wotzit.
Don't you think freedom to speak your mind is far more important than whether Birtwhistle does or does not know his arse from his elbow as far as music is concerned?
I absolutely adore listening to another of maestro Bertie Whistles oeuvres, the so called 'Kes Sonata', particulatly the bit where he aurally goes and evokes the scene in the film where Brian Glover demands to play thje part of a Dutch Bobby Charlton in the school kickaround, it's bloomin' priceless chook..!
In Who's Who, Harrison Birtwistle lists his recreations as "Alienation" and "Standing at bus stops shouting at the passengers".

apparently , the minotaur chappy was unhappy that 'wearing that fucking mesh with the horns on top will mean Sir Andrew won't recognise me.'

he might be naturally hairy but I know he's also wearing artificial hair.

Birtwhistle couldn't write a melody to save his life.
I heard the premiere of "Panic" at the Last Night of the Proms. A saxophonist wandered around the stage making noises like a demented cow.
Birtwhitsle was present in the audience. Only the traditional goodwill of the Proms crowd saved him from being lynched.
