I’m sorry, but I’m just not interested in this.

No. That’s not true. I lied.

I’m not sorry.

    Oh, for crying out loud…  Must we?

    1. Join me in kvetching that the composer’s name is not mentioned until the next-to-last paragraph.
    2. The libretto  “was pieced together using actual quotes uttered by the women and others
      involved in the scandal. Searle plucked from newspaper reports, FBI transcripts and her previous novella about the skating rivals, ‘Celebrities in Disgrace.'”
       Sounds like a page out of the Doctor Atomic playbook.
    3. No, two shallow figure skaters probably won’t hold the stage as opera characters.

    Everybody needs a gimmick, I guess. Sigh.

    (Now as far as them being “shallow figure skaters” … I can’t agree or disagree! I’ve not met them, only seen them through the media’s eyes, and … well .. I do hesitate saying being an ice skater makes one shallow!)
