Friday Photo


South Kensington Tube Station
London, November, 2019

Not a great photo, but the area around this station will be radically redeveloped in the near future.

For you dream you are crossing the Channel, and tossing
about in a steamer from Harwich,
Which is something between a large bathing machine
and a very small second-class carriage;
And you're giving a treat (penny ice and cold meat)
to a party of friends and relations,
They're a ravenous horde, and they all came on board
at Sloane Square and South Kensington Stations.

Ha!

"Les Troyens" in Munich during the 2021-22 season!

Interesting cast, although there are people I'd rather hear than Gregory Kunde. The main question though: is it complete? No choreographer is listed, and no duration, so I just can't tell. I'm not sure I would be up for another truncated version.

One could also see Agrippina (with Joyce DiD) and Rosenkavalier in the same week. And I haven't been to Germany since 1999. It's worth at least a thought.

Brandon J. is singing a couple of performances. Kunde (Gregory Customer!) is apparently having a late-career blooming in the dramatic tenor rep.

I'm waiting for more schedules to be published before I do any travel planning. I am going to Japan next year and that is getting priority over everything.

What an interesting career Kunde has. When I saw him in SFO he was singing Aurturo in Puritani (including that really high note at the end). Now he sings Otello. Interesting. I would love to hear him again just to hear what he sounds like.
