[78-L] Pagliacci set on British Columbia

[Royal Pemberton]

I think operas done in English sound strange too, when the lyrics of the
original music were written in another language.  (That's based on having
recorded a couple of productions of a small organisation called the Longview
Opera for KTPB radio (RIP) in Texas about 15 years ago, who did such as THE
MARRIAGE OF FIGARO as opposed to LE NOZZE.....)
