Opera night excerpts spark mixed reactions in patrons
A narrator recalls an opera evening where a water mezzo impressed most, yet a young man and his companion refused to applaud. The scene contrasts generous audience acclaim with the couple’s silent, uneasy response. A second vignette recounts Dumas in Paris, writing in bed as muse arrives, his theatrical fervor, and quoted praise from a critic.
