That's also what I thought when I first heard that at the radio (some 3
years ago approx.) What opera house will be the first to have the courage to
play on stage the whole opera with Berio's end instead of the "classical"
(Alfano). The strangest thing about it is that you can often hear that
Alfano's end is not very good (and very often a lot of cuts are being made
in that long ending)... It can be compared with Moussorgsky's Khovantchina,
which is now played in the Chostakovitch version and never in the
Rimsky-Korsakov one.
