I went to a concert performance of Tristan & Isolde tonight.

It was very good. And very long.

Amazing music, and the singing was pretty good, too. But the plot left a bit to be desired. If they stopped singing and actually did something, it would have saved an awful lot of trouble!

Opera on the canal. Did my best faux woman from the West End accent for a bit there (I don't live in the West End) when talking to actual West Enders. Truncated versions The Merry Widow and Don Giovanni in case anyone is interested. #Glasgow #StockingfieldBridge #Opera #ScottishOpera #FreeEvent

Marx in London! review – Dove’s opera is capital entertainment

A magnificent cast led by Roland Wood and Stephen Barlow’s vivid staging ensure that Scottish Opera’s production of Jonathan Dove’s rumbustious farce is both cogent and witty

A weekend escape to the 'shire. Foxgloves, Flying Scotsman, family history, and condensed opera in a village hall.

I'm going to the opera tomorrow night, or at least to some highlights performed by #ScottishOpera at our community hall. This is part of what I love about it.
