CBC News: Elvis Costello to compose Hans Christian Andersen opera: "COPENHAGEN - Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, known for his mixing of musical styles and collaborations with a wide range of musicians, will create an opera based on fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen's unrequited love for a Swedish soprano.
The Secret Arias, slated for Denmark's newly opened Royal Theater in 2006, will be based on songs the Danish children's writer penned for the object of his affection, Jenny Lind, a soprano dubbed the Swedish Nightingale. Lind, however, never returned the feeling."

200 Years Ago This Week...
On Monday, six men joined another Indian hunting party of men, women, children and dogs. Over three days, the party managed to kill a buffalo bull, three elk, four deer, several wolves, a badger, a “white hair,” and two porcupines. One of the hunters, Pvt. Joseph Whitehouse had a case of frozen feet that thankfully was not as serious as the captains had feared.
