Opera does nothing for me mikey.....but the "old lady" likes it.
Took her many years ago to see an opera in London and guess what, I developed a bad headache whilst having drinks before the start. I went back to the hotel and to my amazement, Manchester United were playing Honved on the TV, so i rang room service for champagne and smoked salmon sandwiches.
I know......I am a Philistine.

Sqad...yes, you probably are but I think you may be worth saving.
Lady Sqad needs to be more firm with you...tell her I said so !
Madama Butterfly, was the second opera I ever saw, 30 odd years ago, by the Welsh National Opera. The first was La Boheme, and I cried buckets in both.
There is a bit in Butterfly, when we first see the small boy, and it never fails with that spine-tingle factor, never.
Only Puccini can do that to me.....a genius without doubt

VE..........they married in 1996, an operatic marriage made in heaven if you ask me !
They divorced and got back together but ultimately went their separate ways.
They reminded me in many ways of Burton/Taylor, as they used to try to get roles for each other, in any opera that they were in. I have seen both over the years, although not together unfortunately. Gheorghiu has one of the creamiest soprano voices around today...well worth the effort to find.
Stuey.....HMS PInafore would seem to be the only ruddy option at the moment, if the Falkland Islanders need some security......you get BA for you post !
