Glyndebourne

I did not know it was an opera house. I thought it was one of those outdoor music festaival places. Oops wrong. It is Opera at its British best. 

So NZL rolls up to La Traviata on the August the 14th summer. They had one in July that lasted a little longer. Nevertheless NZL 07 is there

Amongst the Bentleys and your good self amongst the

Dinner suits and Champagne in the casual look drinking Pear Cider. 

I can say Placedo Domingo at the Covent Garden was astonishing never to be forgotten. This production is delightful also not to be readily forgotten. 

The Brits do formal casual like no other. 

So I sit in the manicured grounds on a bench while those scattered about sit in camp chairs at picnic tables. This is special. 

It is easy to forget that low life forms  exist in the IRD on NZ but that's life. I guess they came with rabbits possums and gorse.

So intermission is nearly over and my cider consumed so back to the most delightful timber lined

Opera house for some more astonishing Verdi !
