I must admit I have a weakness for Tintin, I grew up with his stories and I reread them after a thousand times. In addition I am a musician, and this episode was always my favorite. The dreaded Bianca Castafiore comes to Moulinsart "Operation" to escape the press. She travels with Irma, her dresser, a pianist to repeat the Air of Gounod's Faust jewelry to despair, and insupportable parrot that will fool the poor Captain Haddock. Hergé left politics and exotic travels and shows his talent to build not only a great mystery story with extraordinary jewelry that disparaient but also twisting and sincere description of its personages. Very good!
