Just a quick blogcast to relate how opening night of Tannhauser went.
Also to explain that starting next week (for one week only) there will be a small
break in my blogcasts as I don't have any opera rehearsals or work next week.
I get a small break... (Whoo! Hoo!)
Starting the following week (February 7th) will be my first blogcast for the Cav/Pag*
shows.
