Just a quick post...
28/05/2010 21:58I find that I actually enjoy opera. And I like BBC4 for showing it. Just sat here watching a performance of The Marriage of Figaro from the Royal Opera House in London.
And if you've seen Shawshank Redemption, the bit where he puts part of that opera on the record player, that song is even much better in it's proper context. Still good in the film though!
Too bad it costs a fortune to get decent seats at the opera or I'd go see one in person. :P Though taking hubby would probably be out of the question as he got distracted most of the way through Act 1 and left to do something else. *rolls eyes*
