My favorite Opera is called Nixon in China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_in_China_(opera) so that often when I talk about Opera [the art form] people think I'm talking about politics. Life is so confusing, but at least my browser has a great name which suits it perfectly - an art form with many aspects.
