Did Harry like it?

[Florestan]

Did Harry like Boris?

I voted Yes.

[karlhenning]

I voted Yes, too.

I just don't see how he could go to witness the performance of such a great, grand masterwork, and come away not liking it.

[Larry Rinkel]

Now we're going to have two threads on this momentous topic?

[karlhenning]

Well, I think the old thread should close up.  The actual performance is a watershed.  A new thread was called for.

[Choo Choo]

I voted Yes, too.

I just don't see how he could go to witness the performance of such a great, grand masterwork, and come away not liking it.

'Course he did.  And when the ladies untie him he'll be straight over here to tell us about it.

(At the moment they're teasing him by playing him snippets of Telemann and making him beg for more.)

[Sergeant Rock]

I voted no. Have you noticed? Harry has not checked in today. That's highly unusual. I think his first exposure to a live soprano was catastrophic. He's probably lying in a near catatonic state somewhere, mumbling feebly, the horror, the horror...

There's not a joy Boris can give like that it takes away,
And the glow of Harry's hope declined in Harry's dull decay

(I'm decidedly in a most poetic mood today...  )

Wonderful Sarge.

I have been writing so much rubbish on the other thread, you realise you now encourage me to double such output. On the basis that in English law 'silence gives concent' then I am voting 'yes'.

PS I notice, someone here does not care! Can't believe that one.

Mike

[BachQ]

Yes.  Absolutely.

[Florestan]

Strange, but it seems I can't stop.  0:)

And that Boris, never quitting, still is singing, still is singing
On the pallid stage of theater just above my seat,  horreur;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is screaming,
And the stage-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

I see Musorgsky supplanting even Boieldieu in Harry's sonic affections.

[knight66]

We have found our librettist for the new opera The Three Musketeers Meet The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Stand up Florestan.

Report to duty, captain, sir!

Karl has already taken up his pen to dash off the Act Five prelude.

[Florestan]

Now I really begin to worry. No news from Harry yet. I know that "no news, good news" but somehow I suspect this doesn't apply in the case at hand.

Piccolo, and paired contrabassoons.

Oh, and wood blocks.

Good thing Harry doesn't go to the opera often. Imagine the wasted bandwidth.

[Florestan]

Good thing Harry doesn't go to the opera often.

This might change soon.

[Sergeant Rock]

I notice, someone here does not care! Can't believe that one.

I may have found the culprit

Shares in CD Mail Companies are plumeting! Some factories are halving production.
