...goes well until Husband Niven gives his in-laws the likkered-up lowdown on what used to happen in that little old hotel before they were married.

Nevertheless, particularly in Pagliacci, he added some truly exciting touches: Nedda, starting her first-act aria reclining voluptuously on the steps leading to the open-air stage; Canio, ripping off his white clown's coat at the opera's end, revealing a blood...
