Everyone knows how much dogs love to sing.
Much more than sheep.
This fact is borne out in the relative sizes of repertoire available for
specialist companies;
ovine opera groups only have three to choose from (and those are pretty
woolly at best):
The Baaber of Seville
Ramerlano
The Bitter Shears of Petra von Kant.
Whereas canine companies have a
plethora of excellent shows to perform:
Bonio and Juliet
Corgi and Bess
Der Rosenkavalierkingcharlesspaniel
Duke Bluebeardedcollie's Castle
Einstein on the Bitch
Elisabetta al Castello di Kennelworth
Emilia di Liverpoodle
Fido and Aeneas
