I asked him about his expat life in Istanbul, and what visitors ‘must see’; do and eat during a weekend stay.

Doc is a big orangutan with an outsized personality. But put a paintbrush in his hand, and the blustering brute becomes a soulful, sensitive artist. Not so Tucker the elephant. All energy and impetuosity, Tucker disdains convention. Give him a brush, and he'll toss it aside. Give him paint, and he'll suck it up and blow it out his trunk.

Rhetoric first, then the drama in Sarasota Opera's "Giovanna d'Arco"

SARASOTA — A taste for the obscure is a useful trait for fans of Sarasota Opera. The company is up to No. 26 in its Verdi cycle (he composed 28 operas, several of which have multiple versions) with this year's staging of the little-known Giovanna d'Arco.
