    I totally agree MJW. It was informative, sympathetic and drew in the viewer from start to finish. And, of course, the musical extracts were just sublime.

    Ooh, you are awful, but I like you!

    My goodness, RobR, but in your photo you look barely old enough to wear a mask.

    With a repeat at 6.55 am on Friday for anyone who missed this morning and wants to record. Plus Simon Rattle's 16 years at the Berlin Phil at 7.30 on Thursday morning and don't forget the RO's Madama Butterfly with Ermonela Jaho at 11.00 am tomorrow and 6.30 am on Wednesday plus ENO's drive-in Boheme at 8.00 pm on Wednesday.

    Such depressing news, Aruna.

    Classy, talented and beautiful. Unforgettable.

    Hmm. Why don't I have that kind of good friend?

    I absolutely agree. A fabulous choice, streets ahead of the previous output in ramping up the enjoyment factor. And Gerald Finley - what a class act! Scarpia, yes, but Credo has always been one of my absolute favourite pieces and, perhaps because we have been so starved of life performances over the past few months, Friday evening stood out more than ever. So I would be happy to recommend swallowing the £16 outlay to anyone who hasn’t already done so. Money extremely well spent.

    Whaaat! Are you sure that dot shouldn't have been placed one point to the left?

    Or were you possibly being deliberately provocative, Jan McNulty?

    Lisette Oropesa is also one of the featured artists at this year's digital Wexford festival.The line-up for the separate, Met-style gala (artists performing from their own homes) has some very well-known names.

    It's lovely, glowlight. It generates such a sense of contentment.

    John, your photograph has left me speechless. It's the sort of thing that truly makes life worth living.
  14. Scheherezade
    Me too.

    Hopefully the content will chivvy the powers that be into taking some sort of action ...

    I wondered when Fidelio was being shown. And, really, this has to be about Lise Davidsen rather than Kaufmann. Plus more exposure for David Butt Philip.

    Let's keep our glasses half full, not half empty.

    And, from a different angle, who can forget that line from Peter Sarstedt's "Where do you go to, my Lovely?": "You talk like Marlene Dietrich/And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire ..."

    This is very welcome news and I am sure that we are all waiting with some considerable anticipation as to the timetable and fine detail that will allow the sector to get up and running. What would now help for those close to London would be reversal of the newly increased congestion charge now applicable from 7.00 am - 22.00 pm throughout the entire week and weekend which which will deter those unwilling to use public transport from driving in to enjoy our theatres, galleries and museums.

    Nooooooooooooo.......

    “New Normal” definitely. It bristles with Margaret Atwood dystopian menace.
  22. Scheherezade
    Yes, ENB’s online offerings have been extraordinarily diverse and well judged.

    The importance of costumes full stop. In most of the recent works made on the RB, the wonderful dancers have had to fight an uphill battle against the most unflattering costumes known to man, generally in varying shades of gunk and grey.
  24. Scheherezade
    Me too.

    Presenters are hard to get right, aren’t they? Whilst Katie Derham is chatty and enthusiastic, I do find that her giggly style can get a bit irritating. I don’t know if Suzy Klein knows anything about ballet but she certainly knows about music and I just love her Informative, non-patronising presentational style. Why on earth isn’t she used more?
