My classics are in line with yours although I like checking out a lot of other things too because you never know what you might have a chance to love unless you try something different once in a while.

Fine. I like opera, and fun bits.

Your Trainspotting experience sounds harrowing. And heroiny.<BR/><BR/>Fran, for someone so rude, you're also strangely sweet. All my Technorati love to you too.<BR/><BR/>Smetana was who I was thinking of Chancelucky as I'd seen <I>The Bartered Bride</I> previously and enjoyed it. Poor fellow had tinnitus, went deaf, was declared insane and had all kinds of other wonderful things happen to him. Now, because of Janacek, all that'll happen to me!<BR/><BR/>The watching was quite excellent, the rest of it suffered and caused me some suffering X. Dell as you've read. If there's a cat fight or two, I'm there!<BR/><BR/>Even when I think it's bad, I still somehow enjoy going Jake's Mom. Imagine if I had nothing to complain about? I'd still like the cash back though.

If you don't have translation issues, that either take your attention away from the stage, or leave you clueless as to what the actors are saying, I can see where that could be a really fun story to watch. Thought about writing a play like that myself.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I sense you're less than thrilled with this effort. Perhaps next time, they can transpose the score and set it in a women's prison. You think that might get more applause than the falcon?X.
