"This Opera Came With Free Meatballs" - Bif

The title is what Bif declared after hearing Vincenzo Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues, sung by the Göteborg Opera in Sweden.  He's not sure why he said it.  I'm wondering what will come from that brain (and mouth) when we listen to the version sung by Anya Netrebko, Elina Garanca, and Joseph Calleja.  Maybe more meatballs?

Here's a pic of meatballs, in case you wanted any.  These are vegan and made with rice and hazelnuts.  But, can't think of a good word to describe them, other than "meatballs" from the popular vernacular, since they have no meat in them ... yet "balls" is not quite right, either.
