But what of the squirrel? That must have, at the very least, hurt.

No word on the injuries to the squirrel?

The squirrel was undoubtedly no opera fan.

Was the opera "Cyrano de Bergerac"?

I stuffed him down in an old shoe box, punched a couple of holes in the top
And when Sunday came I snuck him into Church
I was sittin' way back in the very last pew showin' him to my good buddy Hugh
When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk...

The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin' pews and shoutin' Hallelujah!


/ (Ray Stevens') "Mississippi Squirrel Revival"

Tree rats. One more reason to drive a car, preferably a large domestic SUV that takes them down in one pass.

(When you hunt big game make certain you use enough gun. (Car.))

It's always unpredictable what will happen when a squirrel runs into another squirrel.

The singer ended up...in a local hospital, rather than at his rehearsals for the Finnish opera Kaarmeen hetki (Hour of the Serpent)...

"Moment of the Squirrel" tops "Hour of the Serpent."

That's kind of a hilarious event, but I've never liked squirrells...there're some of the stupidest creatures on the planet if you ask me (aside from Demcorats). They run out into the middle of the road and stop dead still with a car coming at them at 40 mph. Dumb animals...

A SQUIRREL scampered into the bicycle wheel of an unlucky Finnish opera singer, causing him to fall, knock himself out and break his nose

A likely story.

1 oz creme de noyaux
1 tbsp white creme de cacao
1 tbsp light cream

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.

The squirrel obviously hates Wagnerian opera! ;-)

This is Esa Ruuttunen.

He's a baritone and done a lot of Wagnerian opera, so I guess my statement above is not all that far off the mark ;-).

Päivi Nisula (Kundry) and Esa Ruuttunen (Klingsor)

Excerpt from the Review of the performance of Parsifal by the Finnish National Opera, April 2005

Special mention should go though to Jorma Silvasti's Parsifal (every inch the innocent made wise by compassion) and to Esa Ruuttenen's menacing Klingsor. In his case I have often wondered whether his vocation as an ordained Christian minister helps make him such a wonderful operatic villain; if so it's a very great asset.
