Culture (Future tense)

[tamaranth]

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?

Rigoletto ooh yes please

Yes, I'd really like to come to Rigoletto; I'm really glad you have a Plan. Can you get balcony tickets on the day for as many people as you like? Or do I need to turn up too (I work quite close to ENO so it's not impossible)?

MTL also sounds very good. Depending what day it is, so let me know.

Thanks so much for sorting this out.

Arrgh! Steven has just pointed out that I am triple-booked for 11 March. Must manage calendars better. Anyway, can't come to Rigoletto; terribly sorry for vacillating in a disorderly fashion.
