I saw MF in ‘Lady in the Dark’ at the National a year later

In which she not only sang and danced but had also learned to walk the tight-rope. What a trouper! (No bananas though but you can't have everything).

...and by the way, I've already booked for this concert, despite its likelihood of being quite odd Smiley

Me too. Ian Bostridge seems so completely implausible for Macheath that I thought it was unmissable. Dorothea Roschmann as well as (types very very slowly and carefully) Angelika Kirchschlager.
 
On the general subject of 'I know it's a long way off but...', at the same venue, Herve Niquet and Le Concert Spirituel, they of this glorious R3OK favourite...

                                           

... are coming over to do Purcell's King Arthur on 6 May 2009, which is very kind of them.

I keep hoping R3 will repeat the 2000(?) Mahagonny because I didn’t even hear it, let alone go to the Prom; but if they have done so I must have missed it.
I don't know whether there has been a repeat, but you're right, it was definitely 2000.  It was my first season and I only went to eight concerts, so I remember them far more clearly than any subsequent year when I've invariably been to at least 20 and usually well over 40  Shocked

Any comments on how Niquet compares to Christie in King Arthur? (apart presumably from having twenty each of horns and oboes  Grin )

And... a little bit closer to now, in fact exactly a year earlier, there's the possible Prometeo meetup. Is anyone else here going on Friday 9th?

I never did anything about tickets in the end. Are there any more available now??

Moi aussi (to Prometeo on 9 May).

Can't offer anything on Niquet's King Arthur recording I'm afraid as I only knew of its existence at 14.45.36 today.  I'm certainly hoping for massed ranks of hautboix.  Smiley

Tickets secured.  Mid-price compromise - row P stalls at £21.  Now I just need to buy a 2009 diary to put the reminder in!

Completely off topic but it's hardly worth a new thread: what on earth was Mr Terfel on about this evening?  'Wie Todesahnung' comes 'towards the 6th hour of the piece' ! How long were the intervals when he sang Wolfram at the Met?  Or did I mishear?
