Am I going to hear all five acts of Berlioz's Les Troyens on May 4th at Symphony Hall? Gods of the Styx, yeah.

That does sound rather splendid. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

I figure even if I end up in the cheap seats to end all cheap seats, it doesn't matter what I can see so long as I can hear. It's all good.

Do you have an excuse to come to Boston?

Not at the beginning of May, no... :)

(Not that I have an excuse to later than that, either, but there's that whole semester thing that's currently still in progress.)

Yeah, bite me. Lucky.

Maybe if I hit it big at the Derby Festival, I can afford it...

Berlioz is always a worthwhile use of funds . . .

Heh. Lotta stuff this Derby is gonna buy me. Of course, I actually have to hit something over the course of a weekend. (I haven't had a really good Derby weekend since 2001, when Monarchos and Invisible Ink gave me the sickest exacta payout of my life, over $1300 for every $2).

Family's planning a trip to Niagara Falls for memorial day weekend, so I deperately need a copy of Ghosts of Niagara with which to distress everyone...

My parents are going, but to the split version the week before. They invited me along, but that's the week I have dress rehearsals for my chorus concert. They didn't mention the 4-hour version on May 4th. Hmm. I will have to investigate. I may not have the time and money, but I am seriously tempted.

Anne Sofie von Otter as Dido? Wow. From what I've seen/heard of her, she's fantastic. (I saw her as Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito at the Met.)

You have to look a little in the online calendar to find it, but it's there. And looks more like six hours.

I know! I have never heard her; I'm curious.

Ja. Great music and classical epic. What's not to love?
