Austen Ivereigh

After a very hot night nice to wake up to a call from Dennis Woodhouse, Ann- Marie Woodhouse and Henry. Great to Skype with Ann. Austen Ivereigh on Belmont Abbey zoom. Parsifal 1992 from Met. No sub titles and everything is brown. Siegfried Jerusalem, Waltraud Meier fantastic. Old favourites next week. Lovely mass with Dom Brendan and a most pertinent talk by Austen Ivereigh. Fits well with my Laudato Si' training! Watched Doughnut economics by Kate Raworth. Exercises and gallery prommers zoom. Excellent 1992 Glyndebourne Queen of Spades prom conducted by Andrew Davis with Felicity Palmer. Come dine with me, Jane Austen fans.
