Our choice of cat and dog names makes us terribly rayfind...does it not, Mikey?

Sorry Mikey

[The Builder]

Thanks, Mikey. You'd make a good Baron Scarpia ;o)

You may not know this, but there are, sort of, Academy Awards given in opera ...........

known as.....

TheToscas

[Peter Pedant]

hey Tosca at the Met is an anagram of

Ascot, tat theme! - Horse lovers may disagree.....

[mikey4444]

Builder....no, I didn't know that !

By the way, its just coming to the end of Act 1, with that wonderful Te Deum.

All the excitement is in Act 2 !

[wolf63]

PP, Ascot is great especially on Hideous Frocks day.

[Peter Pedant]

Oh dear applause during the performance
how very provincial

Brummies do it alot - when Miyako Toshida came onto the stage ( yeah I know she didnt sing very well or at all) and passe-ed around that stage like a cat that had got the cream, - the audience went crazy

[mikey4444]

When I was last at the Met, over 30 years ago, most of the principles walked to the front of the stage to enjoy there 2 mins applause, immediately after each solo aria!

Very old fashioned I thought at the time, and it completely spoiled the flow of the story.
