Big circles
It has been a week end of music, parties and good friends leaving.
Tan Hauser Gate were on on Friday evening at the Clapham Grand in London where they gave another brillian performance. They immediately turned on the crowd with magic music and brilliant lyrics and surprised us all with some laser lights and fireworks. I really like the way James and the others engage among themselves and the audience.
Oliver's brother Philipp and his girlfriend Silvie were over for the week end. They're great fun and easy going. Together we danced and cheared THG, and went on the following day dancing and chearing Amanda, a special friend and good house mate, who is now sitting on a plane taking her back to New Zealand. And Philipp and Silvie too are back in Munich now. I am left in our living room listening to the parrot of our crazy neighbours, Oliver upstairs, music in my mind and my mind with my friends. A big circle that keeps us going. We're sad when friends leave, happy when we meet them again. And it's just this what makes us go on, wanting to improve life and ourselves, keeping the ones we care about around us.

Die Zauberflöte
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!

To Brits or not to Brits
I find music programmes and competitions very interesting - new and old talents mix, you get to know something more about each of them. Now I know that Adele is a boring person, that Leona Lewis has a marvellous voice and that the Osbournes are complete nutters. Nothing new about the latter you may say...
The idea of artists and musicians has changed drastically. Globalisation I suppose. Now you've got to play the excentric and hang out your "logo", otherwise you disappear among the others. All these artists were playing their role very hard trying to impress. But then Paul MacCartney comes along.... and you see what a real musician really is like: comfortable on stage, a short poignant speech, great music, involving the crowd and an amazing show.
Naturally in his environment.
