Sing along

Dear Celestial Song,
     You may already be a great opera lover! Then again, maybe the soaring Puccini arias in Madame Butterfly were really bugging you.
     Either way, your mother reports that during last night's performance of Madame Butterfly at Chicago's Lyric Opera House you were kicking like crazy.
     Perhaps you, like your mother and I noticed for the first time that the famous "Humming Chorus" in the opera sounded an awful lot like the song "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables. (Doing a little research on this afterwards, I realized that this is not too surprising since Boubill and Natel, the composers of Les Miserables, are also the composers of Miss Saigon which is a complete rip-off of Madame Butterfly!)
