Nights at The Garden. Musings on opera, tenors and sometimes life in general. Thursday, 26 June 2014. Donna non vidi mai" - Manon Lescaut, Royal Opera House, July 2014.

If I've been cagey so far about the production there's a very good reason for that.its because basically I'm feeling a bit schizophrenic about it! I loved half of it but then. But I'm rushing ahead. As he was when he finally h...

Not For Fun Only: November 2014
http://nffo.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Not a bad haul for a midterm election which is predicted to be a record low for voter turnout. Labels: Streets of SF. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Axel Feldheim is not a scary German.
