Wow, this is amazing. Actual soap opera about opera! :D (Or at least, so Hervey says. Do you know if this is backed up by any other sources? When it's Hervey, I feel like I gotta ask.)

I like Handel a lot (though not enough to get in battles over him, lol) so I am a little more on the Princess' side, I suppose, but. Man, Hervey definitely has a way with words, anyway.
