Thursday night at the Opera


Went to one of cousin S's choir things tonight. It was massively too long; somehow the artistic directors for these things can't seem to follow the old "leave 'em wanting more" adage. But at least it was pretty entertaining in parts, such as the gospel hour, and the rousing finally from Flanders and Swan's "Mud glorious Mud" as done by an opera tenor. Then there were the usual kids in the choir who just can't seem to follow along, or gesticulate wildly through the whole thing, or just can't seem to stop waving to ma.
