            Sadly not.
            Try an opera or two... and "ageing juvenile" was a vague clue.

                    Nearly, not Jenufa.

                    Twelve point? Initially looking for the font of youth?

                    Very envious that you saw Betty Marsden - she had such a beautiful husky voice.

                          Very true.
