I've seen it live, heard it on the Radio and seen the film.
At the same point each time, I just burst into tears. Nothing else can do it so predictably.
I do often well up at drama, but nothing like this.

The 2017 Opera North production of Trouble in Tahiti will be shown on Sky Arts at 6AM on Thursday 7th May. That reminds me. If you can't wait, or don't subscribe to Sky, it's on Opera North's YouTube channel at 7pm on 6 May. This is terrific. Double thank you and extra Karma aimed your way.

Eight cancelled. Most disappointing was the Jermyn Street "Tempest" which I was only a couple of days away from seeing when it was cancelled. I see Jermyn Street has been flooded causing a lot of damage - they are not doing well. As mine were all small venues I split the cost evenly between a donation and a credit note. That's what we've done with the smaller ones - even if there's more risk they won't be able to honour the note. Have donated upto 25% to the large Opera co's. I see this as an act of self interest. I want as many as possible to reopen.

We're in. Love a new experience... Have seen Opera in a Warehouse, a Pub, a Roman Ruin, a Greek Ruin, Bow St Courthouse, Goldsmiths Hall, Phillips Auction rooms, various Parks, NT properties, the round Chapel, a canal barge.... Last went to a drive in, Orange County California in 1978. Sat in the middle of a bench seat in the front of a Ford Station Wagon between two sisters, "California Girls". (Actually the middle of the seat was bloody uncomfortable, the speaker you put in your window tinny and the movie had Sylvester Stallone as a bare knuckle fighter. We left early. Last saw 'the girls' in 2008).

Did my ears get used to it or did they sequence the worst audio ones first?
A mixed bag but worth it. "Down by the sea" the biggest surprise from a performer I'd never heard of.
I recently saw saw on iplayer the Prom that marked his 80th. A much more satisfactory 'show'. Worth checking out.
Miss Peter's definitely has her portrait in the attic...
Many Happy Returns "Mr Sondheim".

I originally put this in a spoiler alert but I guess those who want to will have seen this show by now.
SPOILER
According to this version, the wife only got in touch with the 'cougher' the night where the Major had to wait to return the next day. So no premeditated plan for this to happen. I would have thought it a good part of a defence to point out that we need to believe that two parties, previously strangers, agreed this over the phone and enacted it well enough to walk away with the million. MAYBE I MISSED THIS AND they did discuss it? It rather seemed to me the opposite and they were deliberately distracting us from this realisation and its implications.
Is there any evidence they shared the prize - such an action would surely have been 'proof'(perhaps not as I'm not sure they ever were paid?).
But it was an entertainment and I couldn't convict on what I was shown.
