Critics could not forget that she was more Czech than Spanish, that her French was bad, that she was unfaithful to detail, that the "Habanera" should never have been sung from a wheelbarrow nor the "Sequidilla" from the garrison table.

Lights flicker, screams resound, bodies pop up everywhere, Hymns are sung off stage, the bodies that have popped up disappear, and then what do you suppose?
