It was great to meet the Grand Inquisitor and Ruth last week at Sadlers Wells, and put faces to names at last Smiley  (I didn't recognise the Grand Inquisitor without his official regalia at first, but I understand the need to go incognito at performances...)

I am going to be over in London again in time to catch the opening night of the new LUCIA (prod David Alden) at ENO, as well as catching MIKADO back again on re-run.  Anyone else up for those, or anything else around the same time?  I will be in London for about a week  (annual visa renewal - for which the Russian Consulate will have my passport, so I can't go anywhere anyhow!).  It's probably convenient to book our own tickets individually (as we all have different seating/budgetary priorities, ability to cadge freebies etc),  but we could meet at the Chandos before/after?

Cheers

Thanks, but I am not interested in "mailing-out" to a whole load of people whom I don't know at all, and have no especial interest in mailing.  The message above was directed to members of this forum, with whom we've been discussing opera since the days of TOP etc.  ENO is hardly a secret in London, and I am sure members of other fora, opera clubs etc can make their own plans for going to performances there without getting an email from me Smiley

Good to meet you too, Reiner, and to see Ruth again, after the Mahler 3 earlier in the year. I don't have much planned, as yet, for February...a couple of Barenboim's Beethoven sonata cycle at the RFH are in the diary, the Linbury MND ( Wink) and a Barbican performance of Vivaldi's Tito Manlio with Accademia Bizantina/ Ottavio Dantone on the 19th.

Was sorry to miss Reiner and IGI at "Macbeth" but had various old bats in tow and so couldn't get it together to go to the pub. Am booked in for "Lucia" on the 25th Feb but was also thinking of applying for dress rehearsal tickets, if I haven't left it too late. Am also booked in for Tito Manlio so maybe see some of you there?

I was hoping to get to LUCIA earlier in the run than 25th, as I am needed back here to start some rehearsals of my own by then... but maybe TITO MANLIO might be a goer?  Smiley   Sorry to have missed you at MACBETH too, Harpy!   Perhaps your bats won't need dragging to Vivaldi? Wink

No, am not planning to take any bats other than myself to Tito Manlio.
