1830s.

Berlioz' Benvenuto Cellini.

Tough act to follow, that.

It was done here in Barcelona several months ago. The set design and staging by Terry Gilliam.

I was afeared, but it was fine. It was really pretty cool.

The Liceu theatre is very pretty, too.

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Beautiful theatre!

It was telecast world-wide and I saw it, great production.

That would have been so good to see!

1850s, when I was but a lad, naturally.
"Javert, though frightful, had nothing ignoble about him. Probity, sincerity, candor, conviction, the sense of duty, are things which may become hideous when wrongly directed; but which, even when hideous, remain grand."

- Victor Hugo

I seem to have been the only one to have voted for the 1870s...  :)

I would have been able to attend premiere performances of Aïda, the Requiem, Siegfried, Götterdämmerung, many Bruckner first performances and all the hullaballoo that accompanied them... Brahms' first two symphonies, his violin concerto...
