"comic opera"

[To-Ryscum]

Did anyone else happen to watch the new idea of"Comic Opera" night
at The Proms - led by Tim Minchin(a quite accomplished Pianist,btw)

It seemed to go very well with the audience,catch it on BBC iPlayer!

I hope they do something similar next year!

Loved it. Tim Minchin is extremely talented.

Really enjoyed it, I'm glad Tim sang "It's not perfect" at the end, or I might have been a bit disappionted....
Bill Bailey should do one....

Sounds good, i'll have to watch it later. I'd love to see Tim live, I wonder when he'll be in Scotland again....

[MarkRae]

You'll need to keep an eye on his website. His shows sell out extremely quickly...

Brilliant - one of the best things on TV this year and the Beardy Man was seriously awesome.....

[scotman]

I will try to catch that later.
Bill Bailey has done something which may be similar. It is called 'Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra'. Available as DVD.

I do hope that this becomes an annual prom, as long as it remains as fresh as this one..........

Thanks Scotman,
I read the review in the paper, but forgot about it until you just reminded me....
