    Quite a nice print of a poster for the Opera!
    You could print that out and attach it to the wiki printout, as a sort of souvenir!

    I know it's stretching the thread, so I'll delete it in a bit!

    Plot? Opera?
    They're all the same aren't they, just with different tunes.

    Fat lady comes on.
    Fat lady sings.
    Fat lady dies.
    Fin.

    That's a bit harsh, Pastures!

    He does an awful lot of sterling work, you know. The trouble is, the media chooses not to say much about it. :(

    Very true, they tend to have a fixation on "talking to the trees" and "monstrous carbuncles".

    That said, I do think he's possibly a bit too modest about what he does do - with the result that not many realise what and how much it is.

    In anticipation of a Brexit vote (which I think we'll have), I already applied for and got dual British/Belgian citizenship (better safe than sorry).
    Are you Belgian, Wheezy?

    I've got some distant Belgian blood in me, too!:)


    Please don't anticipate a Brexit vote. :(
    That's too depressing. :(

    POSH ALERT

    If you were being taken to the opera for the first time in your life, what would you want the experience to be like? Is there anything you'd like to have happen or not happen?

    I'm thinking of taking Mrs Generali to see Carmen for her birthday.

    Is it in English?

    Do they have a screen with a translation?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
