Dog vs.Opera

I love this story from WQXR:  "How much Verdi is too much Verdi? According to lawmakers in the Slovakian town of Štúrovo, the answer is approximately 5.6 million minutes. Yes, you read that correctly. Frustrated by the barking of a neighbor’s dog, a woman only identified as Éva N. took to blasting a four-minute aria from Il Trovatore, nonstop, from morning till night ... for 16 years. Even though the pet eventually died, Eva kept it up until she was detained by police and charged with, according to the BBC, 'harassment and malicious persecution.' If convicted, she’s looking at six months to three years of jail time. Your call on whether or not that’s a bit harsh. Needless to say, neighbors are relieved. In the BBC’s report, one woman told a Hungarian news outlet, 'I love Plácido Domingo, but not like this!'"
