[tamaranth]

copied and pasted from last year's apart from the numbers / faves

A quick review of my cultural outings in 2019. Everything is reviewed! (Sometimes rather cursorily.) Check out my monthlyculture tag.

Bracketed figures show range over the last 16 years [see year-in-summary tag for my Cultural History since 2004].

Film: 16 (4-20). Best three = The Favourite, Captain Marvel, The Aeronauts.

Theatre: 13 (1-26). Best three = Tartuffe, Noises Off, Ocean at the End of the Lane

Concerts (classical): 9 (2-22). Best three = Monteverdi Vespers, Mahler 2 [because I was in the choir, and it made me understand the music better], Tallis Scholars

Opera: 3 (0-10). Best three = all of them :) though I was in the choir for La Belle Helene, my debut! and immense fun, though exhausting.

Gigs: 1 (0-9)

Art: 10 [Hmm, I don't seem to have tracked this before ...]

Books: 136. Separate post coming eventually: reviews here (ongoing: am behind on reviewing).

Also in 2019: visited Ireland; two conventions.
