Kate tells me that this year it’s Turandot. Kerry tells me that the title character is a bloodthirsty princess, and that there is one particularly haunting aria. I have only been to the real opera once (Tosca), but I try to go every year to the pleb opera. Usually I try to get there a few hours early with a picnic, a bottle of wine and a few friends, so that we can soak up the ambience before the main event.
This strikes me as a great opportunity for a knit. Anyone up for it ?
PS. The Opera in the Park is on Saturday, January 27th. Concert usually starts at 8pm, I’ll probably try to get there around 4pm to grab a spot. I’ve added the event to the <a href=”webcal://ical.mac.com/rhubarbandcustard/Stitch%20’n%20Bitch.ics“>Sydney S’nB calendar</a>.
And here is a link to the Opera Australia calendar. You’ll have to navigate to January 2007 to find Turandot because there is no direct link (that I can find).

I’ll be elsewhere (pout) but I highly recommend Turandot.
Lots of great songs, and violence and a villian to hate. And a really nice love song.
