Hey all, I’m still out here, doing fine. I have to admit that I have been working on a couple other projects over the last little while and have been neglecting this poor little blog for the last while. My apologies. So now it is back to work here…with a look at the Vancouver Opera […]

Two More Performances of La Traviata in Vancouver
As an FYI, you should know that there are only two more performances of La Traviata scheduled to take place in Vancouver, one on May 10th and the other on the 12th. After that the Vancouver Opera, season, unlike the Canuck’s, season is over. As my regular followers will know, I attended the opening night […]
Vancouver Opera’s La Traviata Back Stage Party
Truly a fabulous evening at Vancouver Opera’s opening night of LA Traviata. I will post more a little later but for now I will just add these photos; First is this pic of me and Sir Jonathan Miller, yes, “Sir” meaning he has been knighted. However, he much prefers to be addressed as Doctor Miller. […]
Vancouver Opera’s Performance of La Traviata
On Saturday April 30th I will be attending the opening night of Vancouver Opera’s performance of La Traviata. Yes I am excited about seeing Sir Jonathan Miller direct Guiseppe Verdi’s most popular opera but at this time I have a much more pressing question or concern on my mind; whatever shall I wear to this […]

After the After Party at Vancouver Opera
Ahh…La Clemenza di Tito…such a beautiful night at the Vancouver Opera performance. So wonderful. I offer my sincerest thank yous to the Vancouver Opera Social Media Manager, Ling Chan. Ling is the picture of grace under all sorts of pressure. On opening night of the opera she appears calm and peaceful while I can only […]
La Clemenza di Tito; After the Curtain
Here I thought that Tito had been killed at the end of Act I. In fact, Sesto thought that the fire he had started had killed Tito, but no! Tito, of course lived. Rome was in ruins after the fire but mercifully, Tito lived. More about the opera itself a little later. For now, the […]
La Clemenza di Tito at Vancouver Opera
We are now in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre preparing ourselves for the backstage tour of the theatre. It is funny to think about this opera; Mozart wrote it in the last year of his life and completed it in no time at all. His “inspiration” was the fact that he was in desperate need of […]
Vancouver Opera; Opening Night
Tonight Vancouver Opera opens their run of Mozart’s most magnificent final opera, La Clemenza di Tito. And I will be there, live-blogging for your benefit. Unless you choose to come to the opera and see it with me. The question of the day then, what boots will I wear this evening when I go to […]
Lucia di Lammermoor; the Opera of the Season
It is the morning after opening night of Vancouver Opera’s Lucia di Lammermoor. I felt the need to post a few post-opera thoughts. First, the Vancouver opera crowded needed Lucia di Lammermoor. Vancouver Opera pushed the creative envelope with Nixon in China and again with Lillian Alling. With Lucia di Lammermoor Vancouver Opera returned to […]
