Brilliantly done! Humor is one of Jeff's many strong points as on-air host. Keep up the good work, sir! - Ray, in Boston

Maybe they already exist (haven’t yet done a search), but I would love to hear “Ariadne auf Naxos” and “Die Frau ohne Schatten” in three minutes each. Bravo!!

Awesome. I’m going to see it (broadcast from The Met) today. My father in-law gave me a book to read up on it but this is much less time consuming and much funnier I’m quite sure. We’ll done 🏆
