tamaranthA quick review of my cultural outings in 2016. Everything is reviewed! (Sometimes rather cursorily.) Check out my monthlyculture tag.
I am not going to investigate the ticket box, so won't 'fess up to seeing anything more than once. Also, with the advent of e-ticketing, I don't have physical tickets for everything. Come the apocalypse and the demise of the internet, I will have to rely on actual memories. Eeep.
Bracketed figures show range over the last 13 years [eeep! see year-in-summary tag for my Cultural History for over a decade].
Film: 8 (4-20). Best three = Arrival, Captain America: Civil War, Hail Caesar.
Theatre: 15 (1-15). Best three = Queens of Syria, Callisto: A Queer Epic, Acedian Pirates
Concerts (classical): 11 (2-22). Best three = Haydn 'War and Peace'; Brahms Piano Concerto #1; Bach, Mass in B Minor
Opera: 6 (0-6). Best three = Don Giovanni, Eugene Onegin, Lucia di Lammermoor
Gigs: 6 (0-9) Best three = Fred's House, Mitch Benn, Status Quo
Books: See 'em all here; reviews here (ongoing: am behind on reviewing). Read 76; 55 by women, 21 by men; 9 rereads; 2 non-fiction.
