My father, who enjoys opera very much, refuses to listen to it in
English (the only language he speaks).  He says that he can't really
understand the words no matter what language they're sung in, but when
they're sung in English he'll sit there and strain to hear them; when
the opera is in Italian or German, however, he can simply relax and
enjoy the singing as music.

[To me, it's all just a bunch of Katzenjammer anyway...]
