Opera. Nobody excluded

I went to see Orfeo ed Euridice once. Impressive singing, although I found the plot a bit tricky to follow.

 

Daily culture over in Budapest, eh min? Nae sure you get that stuff in UK.

I suppose you have to listen a few times, but sheer beauty from start to finish

Ach why not. She's bonny enough and certainly has a voice.

Could get rid of the microphone though.

Was that one of Mozarts?

 

 

Fuck me Al, you're worse than me for getting sidetracked.

 

 

I bet your school report card said "easily distracted "

 

I know mine always did.

I went to the Opera once. It was shite. Won't go to another. I can tar ony cunt wi the same brush.

I went to see La Forza Del Destino in Geneva once. We were there on holiday and I got the girlfriend tickets for her birthday.

 

We both got some pretty intense Swiss flu the night before - I actually spent half the night hallucinating a conversation with John Swinney, who I was convinced was a time-traveller - so I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Think the regulars were a bit baffled why some Scottish lad was in there sweating like a racehorse while shivering and occasionally blacking out.

 

Decent singing though I guess.

Fuckers would also needed to have washed first to last two minutes

Half time in the magic flute.

 

Excellent stuff

 

The talent in here tonight is outstanding

Well, despite all the Mozart is a mason bastard stuff, the second half was pretty good as well.

 

These things take me by surprise because I'm just a gadgie with 3 o'levels but I always thought The Magic Flute was grand opera.

 

Turns out it's comedy, and done as well as it was tonight, pretty good comedy as well.
