More opera

Fisher House and Upper Norwood. Walkure from Met the fabulous Jessye Norman who looks nothing like her brother but what singing! Hildegard Behrens, Christa Ludwig and James Morris in 1989. Could not watch it all both for time reasons and the buffering problem. National treasures Tony Pappano, Alan Bennett, Gareth Malone, London Mozart players, Ensemble 26 have all helped to keep us smiling! Sisters of Sion zoom with Rabbi Alex Wright. Good to see Allen Morris, John O'Toole, Michael Redman and Sylvia among others.

 Lockdown pros. Time, quiet, opera, theatre, zooms with family, Catenians, interfaith, meditation. Painting. Online worship.

Cons gaining weight, no swimming, no Eucharist, missing the organ and the people and the choir. Vivid dreams. Irritating people on Facebook. People who talk too much on a zoom!

2 Alan Bennetts both made you think about murder. Masterchef, Repair shop. Watched start of Death in Venice from ENO which  saw at the theatre. More work on family tree. It was wet. Liz on phone to Flo - talked about going up after this is all over. Wondered if I could do an Alan Bennett about Auntie Nellie.
