Went to see Michael Nyman's opera Man and Boy: Dada at the Almeida, London. Not the best Nyman, no good tunes and I can't get to grips with the opera convention of singing conversations in vibrato. Not impressed by the grid of cubes on stage, tho the video backdrop was quite interesting. Nearly 30 quid a ticket up in the circle; beer 3 quid a bottle! But how nice the old bus tickets were...
