Since there are only 3 more performances, let me bang a drum for Die Rheinnixen from @gothicopera.bsky.social . Musically outstanding with so much rich, splendid, non-comic Offenbach to relish.

I mean, I won't go on about this forever, but the idea that it's a *novel or counterintuitive* notion for the right to be the real threat to free speech ... just makes me fucking dizzy. It's always the right, always the traditionalists, always the fundamentalists, always the status quo powers.

Imperial War Museum, Kew Gardens (bit out of the way but definitely worth it if you have the interest), Thames clipper to Greenwich from Vauxhall pier, portobello road antique market. Also good museums: Victoria and Albert, Wallace collection, John Soane house.

Yesss, also the mummy the will and the crypt
