What's weirder is that as early as 2 years ago, a battalion of banners with the floating, disembodied head lined many of the streets leading to the Kennedy Center. It was discomfiting to say the least.

"No, Maestro Domingo, I am only here to see the ballet! Pieta! Stop. Looking. At. Me."

It has been great seeing Domingo on the stage here (and we had a glimpse of his Otello last season in an excerpt), but that particular portrait is eerie. WNO subscribers received an offer in the mail to buy prints of it.
