The Opera: Wagner's Der Fliegende Holländer
Went to see the Flying Dutchman yesterday at the Deutsch Oper am Rhein in Duesseldorf. Ddorf, that is where you drive into a construction site to let the ambulance pass, which is coming up from behind but getting blocked by the big cars all time and then when it finally passed by, you can't get back on the road because the Mercedes cars are right behind the ambulance and wont let you in.
Anyway, the opera was nice, not as good as Xerxes this winter, but totally different and thus hard to compare anyway. Good to see different stuff to get into it. Actually I found that there are some pretty good Operas on youtube that one can have running in the background when working - essentially like football or rugby games.
Oh, and the All Blacks won today. Would have liked to see the French win as well though. Quite divided as usual when these two nations play, but one win would have been nice for the French to end the series. A nice little place in Paris where I had lunch on my way to Roscoff...

Watched "The Life of P" and Richard Parker over the weekend: what an amazing story and film (even non-3D). Never actually came to read the book, but think I should take along to vacations this summer.
