2024: Year in Review (Going Out or Watching Stuff)
Everything is reviewed on this blog! (Sometimes rather cursorily.) Check out my monthlyculture tag.
Bracketed figures show range over the last 21 years [see the year-in-summary tag for my Cultural History since 2004].
Note: 'Best' is shorthand for 'not necessarily objectively good but I really enjoyed'.
Film (in cinema): 17 (4-21). Best three = Emilia Perez, Wicked Little Letters, Lee
Film (streamed): 36 (39 last year). Best three that I hadn't already seen = Cold Comfort Farm, Nope, Crew
Theatre (live): 9 (1-26). Best three = Napoleon: Un Petit Pantomime, Doctor Strangelove, Oedipus
Theatre (streamed): 0 (38 in 2020, 16 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 0 in 2023). Must watch more NT@Home, even alone.
Concerts (classical): 9 (2-22). Best three = Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at St Pauls Cathedral, Berlioz/Rachmaninoff/Saint-Saens.
Opera: 9 (0-10). Best three = Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Fidelio, Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Gigs: 7 (0-9). Best three = Sahra Halgan, The Last Dinner Party, Lankum
Art: 4 (0-6) Best was probably 'Accidentally Wes Anderson'
Books: 184.examined here: reviews here
Also in 2024: visited Glasgow (Worldcon), Mallorca, and Cambridge.
