Placido Domingo is 69 years old and singing baritone, because he can. James Morris is 62 years old and singing "bass," because James Levine lets him. James Levine's cummerbund wraps around his neck as he conducts, and the Met's orchestra is one fine and elegant organism. I don't know what to think of the Simon Boccanegra I heard tonight, but the next time I whine about feeling old or having to leave my comfort zone, I hope I remember these old dudes and their never-say-die 'tudes.
