The standing ovation went on for around five minutes, which is a l-o-n-g time, and it was well deserved. The talent from little ol' Tasmania delivers again.
We suffer from Ovation Inflation in our town. The Syracuse Opera Company did a very good job of performing "Glory Denied" last night, but it was nothing to jump out of one's seat over.
