Appears twice in the list of 'latest posts'. another glitch?
Mikey's posted it in two categories :)
It is wrong to post this information in 'Music'.
The correct category would be 'Endurance Test'.

You are all being very naughty !

Four "evenings" as us aficionados like to put it.

All available on the iplayer, after tonights bash ::::

So no one need get indigestion if they don't have to !
Is that four consecutive evenings, mikey ?.
15 hours of passion I can handle, 15 hours of music AND passion is too much for my old bones....
LOL, have a few single malts, shoota. They should help ;-)

Well...if you were at Bayreuth Tony, then of course its the done thing to see it over 4 consecutive evenings, but a little leeway is given for beginners ! I saw it at Covent Garden over a 2 years period.

As I understand it, once tonights broadcast is finished, then the complete Cycle will be available on the iplayer, with immediate effect.

I think !
Ah I see ( I think ), thanks mikey.
You have to be a devoted Wagnerite to sit through the whole Ring,even over 4 days.I did (when I was 20,50 years ago)and saw it at Bayreuth.The seats (well mine at least) were hard,and maybe kept me awake.
