Note from a music minor: Schubert didn’t compose opera - I imagine that’s a book of his lieder. He’s one of the composers who died before completing a 10th Symphony. Poor guy had syphilis, and died from complications thereof. I wrote a short paper on his “Gretchen am Spinnrade” in college; it’s an amazing work that I could never sing (since I’m just a mezzo). via lileks: Yolanda Betbeze, 1951 Miss America. She declined to appear in swimwear for publicity photos afterwards; the swimsuit sponsor pulled out of the pageant in protest and set up the Miss USA contest. (They crowned a new Miss USA last night, which is why I bring this up.)  That’s Schubert sheet music - she sang opera. She was also a pal of Joe DiMaggio.
