The F# is really okay. Phew! Zauberflรถte No. 60 for me of the Kosky production.

Thereโ€™s nothing like getting a phone call on a Sunday morning asking me to come to the opera house early before a Zflรถte performance. Why? The F# isnโ€™t working! 10 minutes later, it is apparently fine but Iโ€™m still going in early to check this out. #pianistemergencies

This California-born girl totally took the train from Dรผsseldorf to Kรถln just to try the very first @tacobell in Germany. Just a few weeks old, it was PACKEDโ€” Iโ€™ve never seen a Taco Bell with a line out the door. #yoquierotacobell #itsnotthesame

So Anne Carson wins the Nobel. And what could be a better time than now to share her intimate and timeless teardrop of a poem. O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love.
There have been far too many Nobel Prize snubs for my liking. Personal favourites who never won include the following: Joyce Tolstoy Proust Achebe Borges Thiong'o Cormac McCarthy Nabokov And in recent times, my beloved Milan Kundera. I hope Michael Ondaatje wins it this year.

I found a small window time to practice whilst in London. Grateful that such a place exists at the Schott music store. I learned a little bit about Percy Grainger, moved my fingers a bit & then perused the music shelvesโ€”ended up purchasing a few scores! I miss music stores!!

My neighborโ€™s annual Britten map that he makes just for me ๐Ÿค— According to his research, itโ€™s the lowest number of Britten productions/performances for at least 25 yearsโ€”even w/the 50th anniversary of his death (December). No UK stagings at all? ๐Ÿค” He even included the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ & ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Antonino will be so missed at @operamrhein where he was Principal Guest Conductor for over 10 years. Iโ€™ve done almost 15 operas with the great Maestro. I will miss the wonderful man, musician, and conductor. RIP dear friend ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
Very sad news of the death of the conductor Antonino Fogliani, after a long illness, aged 50.
