I'm still trying to process what I just saw! I mean, I love opera as much as the next person, but I didn't know they were gonna throw in pop stars like Mariah Carey? And Kid Rock in 2028? It's definitely a bold move, and I can see how it might be a bit confusing. But you know what? It kind of worked! The whole thing was so over-the-top that it became kinda charming? Like a weird cousin at the family reunion - you're not really sure if you want to invite them, but they show up anyway . Anyway, I think that's what makes it so interesting - it's like a time capsule of Italian culture all mashed together with some unexpected modern twists .
