Did you know that Anton Webern was shot dead in 1945 by an American army cook Pfc. Raymond Norwood Bell, while smoking a cigar outside after curfew?
Bell, overcome with remorse, died a alcoholic in 1955.
Goes well with the queen of sheba

As for Anna Netrebko, I personaly think she is well suited for La Traviata.
But for Die Zauberfleute I prefer Erika Miklósa as the queen of the night.
