Yeah, the modern world isn't the same as when Mozart was accused of
using 'too many notes', but none the less you guys have us (I'm in
California) beat hands down. Newer venues - I'm thinking like the

What a beautiful room by the way. Few and far

Every medium-sized Italian town has one like this... Maybe not
for long anymore as the Berlusconi government is doing its
best to kill them.
Nor are they all great acoustically. For example Parma's opera
house is extremely dry - the result of adding a layer of plaster
with each restauration instead of removing the old ones and
putting on a single new layer.
