Poro on Tuesday at the Britten Theatre was superb, a review (with pictures) should appear in due course. We sat in the front row of the upper circle. In theory the view was fine, but it was not designed for short people - you had to sit very upright to see the front of the stage.
Tonight we're off to The Tempest at the Royal Opera House. I gather that Thomas Ades has not made much in the way of changes to the opera since it was premiered, which is a shame. I felt that it would have benefited from some re-shaping and pruning. But I may change my mind, I'll keep you posted.
I'm still having computer meltdown - my new PC has Microsoft Vista installed and I'm having the devils own job finding an ADSL modem to suit it.
