Bravo!

A wet morning turned into a sunny afternoon. I headed off early to a recital so that I could see what was happening on the High Street. The usual number of street performers were doing their balancing/ flame throwing things. The leaflet hustlers were out in force. And some sought attention by their dress. Two examples attached.

The main event for me was much more classical. A opera singer friend from school had one again organised a concert of excerpts from operas and had brought together a piano accompanist, a mezzo soprano, a soprano and a tenor each much younger in years than him.

They were all superb. I was sorry to learn afterwards that despite their high quality performances each of the younger singers was following non- musical careers as there were no opportunities to make it their profession if they wished.
