Last night's Sir John in Love at the Coliseum was wonderfully entertaining and a review will appear in due course. Mistress Page was played by Marie McLaughlin who I remember first singing Musetta (in La Boheme) in Scottish Opera in the late 70's .

First Sunday in Lent today, so we stop using the organ at church and change from plainchant Credo III to plainchant Credo I. I particularly love Credo I, it dates from the 11th century whereas Credo III is 17th century.
