What a lovely afternoon for it. Any jealous opera fans here?

[mccfluff]

[murraymints]

Best I saw was Aida in Madrid outdoors...

[cazzz1975]

I would be jealous if you were being treated to a rendition of "non piangere liu" from Turandot

[murraymints]

or..your tiny hand is frozen..La boheme.....

[stewey]

[murraymints]

[cazzz1975]

[murraymints]

"nicely slipped in stewey ;)"
Now there's something open to misinterpretation!

[ladybirder]

Thank you all. I get a couple of freebies every year to the final dress rehearsal which is just the same as a performance but you don't have to dress up. As I love opera it's just the best pressie for me. See ya later.

[murraymints]

have a great time...deffo jealous !!!

[jackthehat]

I like the bit where they divide the audience into two and each half gets to sing-along with a different character...........

[The Builder]

Jealous here too Ladybirder. The Glyndebourne Don Giovanni was on TV at Christmas. It was wonderful. That and Dr Who were the only things worth watching :o)

[joggerjayne]

OMG, ladyb ... I an totally jealous !

I went once last year, to see Hansel und Gretel, which was fab, although a slightly weird set with some sort of anti disposable society kind of undertone ... and it was a warm evening, and I absolutely loved it.

I'm not going this year.

=0(

(unless anyone surprises me with a couple of tickets !!!)

=0)

[marval]

Yes, I am jealous, I hope you have a lovely time.

[lady-janine]

yessssss ladybirder i am so jealous. hope you have a wonderful time.

many moons ago i went to bruges for a whole evening of pav. well worth the travelling and the expense.

[seadogg]

Bravo lb. Dont turn your back on that statue.

[DTCwordfan]

never been to Glyndebourne but wouldnt mind seeing DG or The Magic F there......

lucky buzzard - a good excuse for a nice Charles Hesideck or Simart-Moreau Vintage champers

[ladybirder]

Well I'm back and it was every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be. World Class stuff. I love Mozart and it was the first time I've seen Don G. Weather was great, gardens beautiful, stunning setting, and bumblebees and birds everywhere - what more could you want. Oh dear, such a pain, gotta wait 2 weeks before I go again:-)
Yaaaaaaaaay!

Saw Pavarotti in Hyde Park Lady J in 1991? I think. Lady Di was there. Thousands there it was magic. And thank you all for your good wishes (despite your jealousy).
