The Magic Flute

Tonight I went to see the Magic Flute as done by the England National Opera Company. Of course it was brilliant. I loved seeing the differences in between Mark Bakers adaption and the ENO. I must say, the Capital Magic Flute was much more audience friendly and funny. It was witty. ENO the singing was supurb. My favorite singer for the night ended up being a tie. The lady who played the Queen of the night was quite good and Papageno was simply hilarious. He acting his butt of today!

Getting my ticket was much more of a feat than it should have been. I had exactly an hour and a half to get from New Cross (the SE side) all the way to Central London to get my ticket. I was in a tame cramp because today we had a 9:45-12:45 rehearsal for music week and then another rehearsal beginning at 2:00. Using the Underground... should I say more.

I ended up making good time. I only ended up beging about 5 minutes late which translated into still having 10 minutes of time while the choir and orchestra set up for rehearsal.

For the music week performance I am singing in the Prokofiev cantata- Songs of our Days which has some very nice parts in it. The Russian is so hard to run through as the average tempi are 160 bpm :( / :)

Thisis the perfect time to tell you that I made the football team!!!! Our first game is next Wednesday. Yes, Yes, y-e-s!

That's all bloaks- it is now going on 2 AM

Cheers
