What opera have you purchased recently?

And to be fair, I thought Stefan Herheim's production was actually very intriguing and attractive.

But yeah, I never really got my head around that bear.

Yes, it's the first time I've ever got the giggles while watching Eugene Onegin.

Well, yeah, except for the dueling scene, of course.

Now *that's* comedy!

Over the weekend I visited my local used CD shop, and I suffered an attack of consumer-itis. When the dust cleared, this was the damage:

Oh! My! God!
Happy listening!

Thank you!

Don't be so impressed, you guys! It is just further evidence of my inability to resist temptation.

Actually we are all planning to come and stay with you so we can accompany you to this treasure trove!

What a shame! I'm going out of town that week!

Seriously, though, the 'treasure trove' is called Amoeba Music, and there are locations in San Francisco, Berkeley and Hollywood, so if you are going to be in any of those places I recommend you stop in and browse. Amoeba is one of the few places left where you can still get vintage LPs, and their DVD section is extensive.

I would but it's a bit far from New Zealand,which is distinctly lacking in lovely second hand classical CD shops.
