Charming but still not memorable. English Touring Opera tackeld Il mondo...: deadly dull. I enjoyed La fedelta... but it was my first visit to Glyndebourne, as a teenager, and of course I lapped up the experience. The conductor was a young Simon Rattle.

Again, I like many versions, but especially attached to the first one I saw on youtube (and then on DVD), Glyndebourne 1996. This one I discovered last year and I love that version too.

I’ve always fancied doing this for my Christmas dinner, but I’m used to the attempted adoption thing when happily picnicking alone at Glyndebourne, and… well, I don’t want to ruin my own and somebody else’s Christmas by having to tell people to get lost.

I found the Glyndebourne Parsifal really thought-provoking, though some of it absolutely didn’t make sense. Agree wholeheartedly re that fab Falstaff revival (saw last show of the run with the excellent cover on in the title role). And as for Last Days… I’m seeing it on the “last day” of this year.

Most agreeable surprise
= The Cunning little Vixen (RCM) – Improbably classy student production
= La bohème (Glyndebourne) – A riot of symbols that I missed first time round
Embarrassment of the year

"We are heartened to read of the “overwhelming” backing for the principles - of excellence and access - that underpin our strategy, Let’s Create." Um, I think ACE may have read the report having left their specs at home...
Boom! "The Arts Council should replace Let's Create"
