Okay, the ROH is sold out for the whole time I'm there but I guess I'll find something to do...

and but I'm sure you will find some interesting entertainment somewhere.

I'm salivating already...

Pity I'll miss the Siena Exhibition at the National Gallery though.

As for the ROH, I'll just have to call in a few favours......... use connections... I'll get in somehow!

Have seen it lots of times, but never with Nebretko.

Just got a ticket for the Barber at the Met also. Time to banish the winter blues

I did NOTHING on Boxing day.... I sat around, then I went to the dog park, cooked dinner, cleaned manically, went out drinking with my girlfriends, came home to hubby and the dog, went to sleep.

I remember the good old boxing days when ET would be on and we'd eat turkey and salad cream sandwiches. This year I don't have my work authorization but I guess next year I'll be working on boxing day. But anyway, it's not the same when you spend it alone and not in England.

I doubt you will be working next Boxing day. Xmas falls on a Thursday, so most peeps will have a 4-day w/e.

Good for you, Elvira!!

My nephew is an opera singer and my sister (his mum) lives in London. May be able to help you find some tickets? Send me a PM if you'd like me to find out.
