I go visit Boris!

[71 dB]

This is one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read on an internet forum.

When you start a thread asking if a performance on Boris Godunov will be 3 hours of torture you have a classic in your hands!

C'mon, Harry, bottom line: you're going to the opera, for Christ's sake, not to the gallows! 

Are you that sure?

3 hours before countdown.

Headline in tomorrow's Dutch newspapers:

Enraged madman disrupts opera performance in Groningen.

There are at least, Lisa, Olga, Nina, Jelena, Valentina, another Olga, Nana, Evgenia, Gabriela, Victoria, Svetlana, Daniela, Katja, Larissa, Lora, Wika, preventing me doing that.

And you're expecting us to feel sorry for you ?!?!

And you're expecting us to feel sorry for you ?!?! 

Compassion would be nice, but only in the case of Boris.
Female wise I have no complaints .

Tirelessly douse him with the waters of cold reason, Andrei! Do not despair!

My God, Harry! Looks like The Abduction to Seraglio.

Now just look at him, folks! He's a sultan parading his harem and begs our pitty... In that company, I'd go to Bayreuth for the whole Ring without the smallest sigh...

There, my dear Andrei, you go too far! 

[Florestan]

There, my dear Andrei, you go too far! 

Of course. There are more than a thousand miles from Bucharest to Bayreuth... 

[Harry]

Of course. There are more than a thousand miles from Bucharest to Bayreuth... 

But also a lot of girls on the way......................

You make the pilgrimage on foot, of course?  0:)

[Florestan]

Nah, after you leave Romania things get worse regarding pretty girls... Hungary is still ok, if you insist, but entering Austria means disaster.

Gosh, really?
Well I left them there didn't I?

There, my dear Karl, you go too far!

Whom?

[karlhenning]

Remember Cosima's Rule:

What happens in the Festspielhaus, stays in the Festspielhaus.

[karlhenning]

Whom?

Ah-ha! You've caught Harry out, Andrei!

[Harry]

Whom?

Well let me find the agenda from 2006!
