SandyMcKean Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Aurora, You've got to admit that "intermission" sounds way more snobby than the earthy, common folk sound of "half time". 3 cheers for all mothers everywhere! Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You've got to admit that "intermission" sounds way more snobby than the earthy, common folk sound of "half time". So what do we call the intervals between the first & second period and the third & fourth period? I vote for "piccola pausa". Nah, I'm not a snob. Link to comment
carbro Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 So what do we call the intervals between the first & second period and the third & fourth period?I vote for "piccola pausa". Fine for opera, but for ballet, petite pause -- as a mangled nod to one of our 19th century giants -- would be more appropriate. Or maybe not. Link to comment

Mel Johnson Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Well, if it were the second intermission on a three-bill, I could go for "seventh-inning stretch". Link to comment
