Heckler ..... Heckel & Jeckels great great great great grandson....
Rossini “The Thieving Magpie” opera.
Plot in brief: Woman is jailed and almost executed for the theft of a spoon (actually stolen by the bird).
It’s on the program at the Glimmerglass Festival in Coooperstown, NY this summer.
Quite timely scheduling! Vancouver needs to do this opera.
