It is possible to say a lot of things about Esther's interest in Gilbert & Sullivan, but perhaps the reader would consider this to be persiflage (Koko, "The Mikado")?
Esther was an early supporter of Donald Pippin's "Pocket Opera". Whenever her research responsibilities allowed, Esther pursued her interests in "Early Music", but also enjoyed the interesting performances of Donald Pippin's at the North Beach cabarets, at such places as the Old Spaghetti Factory". Operas such "cosi Fan Tutti", "The Coffee Cantata".
