    If you haven't I recommend you watch the Bergmann movie in a few months. It's beautiful and extremely funny.

      It's OK; mookie is looking for the side bet action on when the fat lady sings.

        Mookie is considering a Christmas week trip to Vienna and Prague to catch 3 nights at each. See how many European opera houses he can knock off.

          I recommend you start in Budapest. Then go to Barcelona and then, Warsaw. and it still could have English sub titles even if it's in German.

            Be sure to take the backstage tour of the Vienna opera house. Also if you can manage to stay in Austria for a while they have literally a dozen world renowned opera houses.

              Mookie was originally thinking of 3 with Warsaw included, but their schedule isn't as abundant over Christmas so that can be pushed to another trip
              Airfare to/from euro 2x a yr for R&R is part of the package...this year while mookie's solo he will go heavy on opera. When the kids show up next yr the family will take advantage and show them all the continent

                  It's depressing though how much Wagner is still performed. Let it go, folks.

                            Depends what's on the bill.

                            I would actually be willing to sit through Dick's Endless Preposterous Droning for the staging and set design. But I want it in Bayreuth. And in 1880. And with time-traveling Nazis.
