How is that for nice planning: Gay marriage becomes legal on June 16th, the day after the SF Opera premiered Ariodante for the first time ever. Check this out: Ginevra and Ariodante love each other, will get married. But Ginvevra is also courted by Polinesso, who in turn is the object of Ginevra's attendant Dalinda's unrequited attention. And all these roles are sung by women. How appropriate.

Ragnar left Sweden to join the SF Symphony as Chorus director in March this year. And did we throw a welcome party for him? Did we ring his door with a cauliflower casserole and a bottle of wine to ease his arrival in the neighborhood? Nope. Nada. We must have been booked when he threw his housewarming or something, but so far, search for him here and you'll find only one single measly hit. Luckily for us, that one post heaps praise on Ragnar, otherwise we'd be accused of ignoring him.
