November 10th and 11th are a Tuesday and Wednesday evening: inconvenient timing for those outside Oxford who work normal hours. However, if your schedule permits, this is shaping up to be a rather special Figaro. An eighteenth-century opera in an eighteenth-century theatre in eighteenth-century costume is surely cause for celebration. The orchestra is mostly modern instruments, but the continuo will be a fortepiano like the one Mozart used at the first performances.

If, by chance, you were planning to come and see lost_in_avebury's and brute_force's work in the completely free Steampunk exhibition at the Museum of the History of Science-- well, Figaro would make an excellent evening's entertainment. Hope to see you there.

I can't come - Timbo won't be up for me having any time out for, well, lots and lots of time......

But say Hello to my niece who I think might be leading the orchestra. She's called Becky and looks remarkably like a relative of mine, except for being thin!

Becky! Yes, I met her. She's very nice and extremely talented. Be proud!

I expect to be half dead after London the preceding evening and an early start on the Wednesday, but I do love Figaro, and shall be there if I can.

cabbage and I will be there on the Wednesday night. We're going to make a day of it and have a look round some museums as well!

Hurrah! I'm glad you're coming along.
