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.

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.

 

Very astute Rocket.

Bang on, every report card I ever got. That and could do better

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.
