Gulp - is that the cost of the subsidies to the ROH from my taxes for
just those 4 performances?

Think I'd nip out for a quick turn round the LT museum...

While we're in the area, anyone know if Peter Baldwin's model theatre shop
is still in Covent Garden?

Wondering if his family or staff have kept it going following his death last
year.

That looks like really good value. It's about 10 hours of top-class opera, as well as the whole Umwelt that goes with it before and after. Very good.

Was it Mark Twain who said words to the effect that Wagner Operas have
some wonderful moments separated by awful half hours.

So make sure the LT museum is open 'til late on 5th May

I thought it was either Cocteau or Debussey.

Rossini, and it was quarter-hours.

There are some good deals for the ENO's production of The Magic Flute at
the Coliseum at the moment too. Picked up a ticket last night for about
30 quid for a performance on the 3rd of March.
