The start time is at 5 pm - neither afternoon nor evening but a hint that one is in for the long haul.<br /><br />Julia: It's changing waist-length that's incalculable. No algorithm, just shame.<br /><br />RW (zs): Here's a discouragement: Siegfried "knows no fear". Thus an unrestrained hooligan.<br /><br />Avus: I appreciate all this but those pockets worry me.

My choice is Craghoppers (http://www.craghoppers.com/buy/classic-kiwi-trousers-long-length-132051)<br />in grey/blue, beige and green. Lots pockets, machine washable, non-iron and last for ever. I live in them.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-28147314319093452062011-11-04T00:15:56.444+00:002011-11-04T00:15:56.444+00:00Siegfried is a Germanic name I have always mistrus...Siegfried is a Germanic name I have always mistrusted.

This is the fifth or sixth of these Met transmissions we've seen and, despite the fact that almost all were emblazoned with the word "Live" I had difficulty squaring the time difference. Since we were seeing it at 6 pm, that meant the New Yorkers (not the most accommodating people in the world) were taking their seats at midday. I can only assume there was some financial inducement for them to watch opera at such an unfashionable hour.<br /><br />What I really wanted to say was that there is a greatly superior version of DG (from Glyndebourne) presently doing the rounds and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. The Don wears a white modern-day suit and is a whole lot more donnish.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-83387472472573908172011-11-02T13:08:17.396+00:002011-11-02T13:08:17.396+00:00Going to see the same production (recorded, I supp...Going to see the same production (recorded, I suppose) of Don Giovanni in Aix en Provence tomorrow night.
