And some of it was actually fun to watch. It's all personal taste and mood, isn't it? Novelty? And some of it was actually fun to watch.

What was there that was actually memorable, artistic - or new? Why did the chamber orchestra leaving one by one strike you as pleasing? Have you never simply played with music before, or listened to one part whilst ignoring the rest? It was simply a shambles. All credit to the RNCM, as they did a superb job - but apart from the talented musicians and the Madam Butterfly singers themselves; there was absolute no talent, or indeed 'art' on show. I'm afraid the whole thing was simply a waste of money, time and resources. If you call your best friends 'darling' then maybe you can pretend this was a simply splendid affair; but the rest of us can the emperor's clothes for what they are. But, why did you enjoy it?
