Hi Emmie it was lovely to meet you just so sorry it was so brief as I said to you we were at least half an hour late due to loads of roadworks ,when we got to the Eye they changed us to do the river cruise first then the eye ,I’d never survive living there haha ,it’s wild x

Musicians, actors, singers, dancers …. cleaners, LCG? Sorry … couldn’t resist the last. :o)

[naomi24]

Carmen is a great one to start with, Bobbi. You’d know the music that’s for sure. Maybe try to catch it locally at some time - just as a taster.

[Bobbisox1]

I will, after all I took your advice with this and it was 200% , I loved it x

[naomi24]

Carmen is on in Newcastle March 2022. Who’s a lucky girl then? :o)

GGF was a Timpanist and GGM was a Pianist, Naomi.

[Bobbisox1]

Depends if I can get someone to go with me, ZOH is a definite NO, and it depends if I’ll be going away then too but thanks Naomi x

[Bobbisox1]

Sausage fingers ….OH

[naomi24]

How nice. Have you inherited a musical gene, LCG?

Bobbi, Carmen will probably be sung in French but don’t let that put you off. There will be surtitles above the stage for you to read.

Bobbi, loved reading about your trip. Do try to get to Carmen, Opera North put on some wonderful productions. I usually travel (four hour journey) to their seasons in Newcastle. Always memorable.

[naomi24]

Cross posted. Just a thought Bobbi.

[Bobbisox1]

And I’ll certainly give some Naomi thank you
And thanks also to you middlemarch

God !
or oh Gawd as the educated opera goers say
the previous page isnt a discussion about 4' 33' ?

( silent symphony - nothing is played for four minutes - and refer back, all the answers have been REMOVED ! haw haw haw)

Sky Arts - which is on free view - did Marriage of Figaro a few weeks ago and Stiffelio ( no not a joke ) a few nights ago

there are also operas on Youo tube - full length

[naomi24]

Television doesn’t do opera justice. Best avoided. It could put a newcomer off for life.

Agree Peter, what jerk(s) manage to get their answers or even themselves removed from a genteel thread like this? Glad you hooked up even if it was a fleeting meeting...."Hi, I am...oops, sorry I have to get onboard."
