Pop Quiz

Tom Reed, chorus

The opera Turandot makes for a very long evening for the chorus. So much fuss over finding someone who can answer the three riddles and marry the princess. Too bad Puccini didn't make it a multiple choice quiz. If he had, the Prince of Persia might have guessed the right answers in the first act, kept his head, married Turandot, and we'd all have gone home hours earlier.
