TRIVIA QUESTION FOR OPERA LOVERS:
In what popular opera is the Comte de St. Germain mentioned, as the source
of the characters' supernatural troubles?
(He was a renowned charlatan in an era famous for them. In the late 20th century, though, Elizabeth Claire Prophet, the heresiarch from Montana who had all her followers give her their life savings so that she could build a vast fallout shelter for them in anticipation of World War III, c. 1994, AND THEN DID IT WITH THE MONEY, claimed to be receiving a mystic interpretation of Christianity directly from Saint Germain, whose portrait hung in the home of friends of mine who succumbed to these teachings.)
Oh, by the way, to keep the ball rolling:
The story I heard is that Gottlob Frick, overcome by jealousy of Fritz's legato, got him drunk and shoved him down the stairs after dinner....
This was told me at a Chicago Symphony Rheingold at Carnegie Hall. Frick
sang Loge, and the story seemed perfectly believable in context.
