One of my birthday presents this year was two tickets for Die Zauberflöte at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. And that is where Oliver and I went yesterday evening. I must admit I particularly like the this opera house: it has a beautiful theatre with a spectacular ceiling, the bar areas both upstairs and downstairs are very well designed and last but certainly not least I always enjoy their performances. (It was a little chilly so if you ever go there make sure to dress warm enough.)
Die Zauberflöte is one of my favourite operas, and it was a genuine pleasure to see it performed live for the first time. What surprised us most is the many funny things they added to the live performance: on several occasions all the audience was laughing out loud! Papageno and Papagena were wonderful and the Queen of the Night exceptional! I can definitely recommend this production!

Hey, baby Cuzz, great idea to start a blog! I've been meaning to do that myself for so long... Oh well, I suppose the world isn't waiting for my riveting tales either... Glad you enjoyed Die Zauberflöte. Could you go into a bit more detail as to what those things were that were added to the performance?
I'm glad I can keep track of your life more easily now. All the best, lots of love,
K.
