Seven veils, one severed head and a healthy dose of culture...

Well, I've been meaning to watch more opera for a while...

The WNO's production of Richard Strauss's Salome visits Birmingham in March. I now have tickets.

I like Strauss, but I've never heard the full version of this (although I have heard excerpts). Alex Ross spent quite a bit of time praising in it The Rest is Noise, mind you, which has definitely caught my interest.

And so far, my trips to actually attend opera have been limited to a couple of Philip Glass pieces, so this should be an interesting change...

Oh well - between the fact that I'll have no leave left by then and definitely have no money till the end of the month, looks like I'll have to give it a miss.
