It is as short-winded as Mozart and as elongated as Wagner; rarely does Berlioz repeat himself, yet he spins out one duet (Cassandra and her lover Coroebus) for 15 minutes. Never a piker in such matters, Berlioz made heroic stage demands that included hunters on horseback, ships sailing out of a harbor, a stream that turns into a "roaring waterfall" and, of course, a large wooden horse...
