Brilliant song!

I just watched some Nen Affleck movie, back in the game I think it was, there was one bit and I swear I could hear the chariots of Fire music playing! I was singing the music and junior was like huh! Funny how songs take you back!

That one takes me back to blue light discos and black moccos!

Sorry Jim, I think Peter Allan did it better.

Found this cool little website for listening to thousands of radio stations around the world – you can click on any green dot on the world map and immediately listen to what's playing on a local station right now:

Two of Australia's most magnificent up and coming operatic stars performing one of the most beautiful songs ever written - "Au Fond du Temple Saint" from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers".

This is a promo for the Myer Music Bowl performance on 22 April (with full orchestra, of course).

I dare you to try not to weep at the beauty of this when they join together for the two famous choruses.

I can't seem to create a direct link to the video (possibly because I don't have facebook). The main page is here and the duet is the first video link on that page: https://www.facebook.com/victorianopera/

It is a beautiful rendition! And thanks for the reminder – keen to get along to this with Lola if I can wrangle house seats.

I hope you got there last night, David. It was fabulous (which I didn't really expect to be saying, since The Pearlfishers is - apart from that magnificent duet - not really my thing) - and, of course, way better with the full orchestra. Here's a review:

https://www.limelightmagazine.com.au/reviews/the-pearl-fishers-victorian-opera/

The Myer Music Bowl is a fabulous place to see a big performance like this.

I've got to say, though, it's a tragedy this was a "one-night only". All that work by all those people and all that perfection - and it's gone in a flash.

Sadly, I wasn’t successful in getting house seats and the remaining tickets were pretty expensive. Sounds like it was a great performance, though!

^ I'm sorry to hear that. That's why it's a tragedy it is only done once.

The COVID-affected seating arrangement did make tickets expensive. They were effectively selling tables of 4 or 6 people at a per table, rather than per seat, cost, from what I could see. Unfortunately, with financing being what it is in the Arts, there were no freebies. Even Zurga's Mum and Dad were sitting at a table of 6 up the back, which I thought was miserable. I have no idea what our tickets cost - my wife bought them - but I think they were quite a lot cheaper (a fraction of the price) than going to the Opera in a theatre. I got a series ticket for her and me to the Australian Opera many years ago (when Joan Carden was singing Tosca) - probably around 1988 or so. I think the good seats then were about $200 a pop, which meant around 2 grand to see a 5-opera season with the better-half. It's fair to say that I absolutely loved it but never seriously considered paying for a season again. That's why I think the opera companies should try to do more of these large-scale attendance events. It isn't perfect singing at the Bowl (everyone is amplified, out of necessity) but many, many people who would love these operas just never get to go because they are too expensive staged indoors. The shame of it is that the cost is a fair one - there aren't people becoming well-off doing this, so far as I can see.

It’s taken me a while to catch up with the Australian band Tropical F@&$ Storm, but I’m really digging this song off their first album:

^^ One of the best live acts going around, at the moment. Try and get to a gig any way you can. You won't regret it.

Standard Friday morning on PBS: Ports of Paradise with Palm Tree Paddy. Lots of exotic goodness from the 50s and 60s. This followed by Riddim Yard with Rick Howe. Jamaican music covering all eras. Personally, not a fan of the modern stuff but love pretty much everything prior to 1990.
