Culture (Future tense)

Way, way back at the beginning of the year I suggested various operas, concerts etc that I was considering seeing. Some of you expressed an interest in coming along. I promptly did nothing, and have continued this initiative.
There is a good reason - or two - for this: lack of income means that I need all the space I can get on my credit cards, and also makes it difficult to plan with any confidence. (Also, of course, Am Crap. Waaaaa.)
However, I present to you the following information:
- Rigoletto at the ENO. Tuesday 11th March, 7:30. I will be buying balcony tickets on the day, for (at least) myself and
ladymoonray. It's a gorgeous production. You would be most welcome to join us.
- Music Theatre London reviving their Marriage of Figaro production: the Drill Hall, Saturdays and Sundays 11 May - 8 June. MTL offer alternative versions of opera classics (Cosi fan Tutte set on an East Anglian airbase, complete with Airfix model planes; La Boheme set in East London among addicts and benefit frauds; Die Fledermaus set at a private clinic) and are quite possibly the funniest opera company I have ever seen. Plus they do it on purpose. Anyone coming with me?
