In a sign of the times, even Mozart is now being updated for the “American Idol” age. A coming production of his opera “Così fan tutte,” about a pair of officers and their fickle sister fiancées, and the romantic machinations of the sisters’ maid and an elderly philosopher, will ask audience members to vote at intermission for which characters should be married in the opera’s final scene. The production, called “Così fan Tutte: Defining Women,” will be performed by the Underworld Productions Opera Ensemble at Symphony Space on April 29 and 30, and it invites theatergoers to vote by sending text messages from their cell phones. Cast members will then perform the democratically chosen ending. In a news release, the opera company notes that its production has been relocated from 18th-century Italy to modern-day Massachusetts, “where nuptials between any combination of three men and three women would be legal.”**

it is appropriate the that a company glorifying such a grave evil, "where nuptials between any combination of three men and three women would be legal" is called "underworld."
this is a sign of just how far we've fallen from our christian heritage, and that jesus is probably coming back tonight.
i truly hope that last comment was a joke or your friends have some serious issues worth addressing. get on that kate!!
that is the kind of thinking that makes the term "christian heritage" a very ugly thing. if there is a jesus coming back he probably has some other things on his mind than who is marrying who...jesus as dating service never did sit well.
