After I got home and cleaned up in the kitchen and started the new cooking project, I turned on the TV and discovered that PBS Great Performances was partway through the Metropolitan Opera's Carmen, with Elina Garanca as Carmen and Roberto Alagna as Don Jose. WOW. Amazing. Amazing, brilliant, wiped out all the other Carmens I've seen on TV (and the one I saw in real life, but that was a touring company and the live burro on stage started braying and then bit the man who tried to shut him up.)
For those who didn't see it, here's a link to the GP site's description and preview:

I will have to calm myself down with some Bach organ music.
