Am in Cambridge today meeting up with a friend from my on line book group, who is visiting the UK from Los Angeles. We intend to have a day out visiting the church which features in D L Sayers, Nine Tailors, and will be dining in hall with my daughter, Helen, at St Johns. She has also just informed me that there is a chamber concert in the Master's House which we can attend after dinner if we wish (If we wish..!) I am also staying overnight at the college so it promises to be a wonderful day.
I will be back Wednesday in time to rest and recover before going to the opera again on Thursday, This time it is Tosca, with the Mighty Bryn as Scarpia and boy am I looking forward to that. However, as seems to be my lot recently, Deborah Voight who I was hugely looking forward to hearing as Tosca, now there is a woman with a voice, has cancelled and the Opera House had to email again to inform me of yet another cancellation. However, they were sure I would be delighted to know that I would be hearing Angela Gheorgiou instead…..
Anybody whose is interested in what I think of this Diva can read my report on Tosca when I first saw it two years ago here. Still, as long as Bryn is there I shall be a happy woman.
Oh and the photo is the River Wye taken a couple of weeks ago during my visit to Hay.
