a building so gorgeous that I was dazzled at once when I walked in and then double-dazzled by the show - Akhenaeton.
The night out was a treat offered by a dear friend who slipped some salmon pink silk culottes into my handbag while we were sipping Chardonnay in the Coliseum bar - she'd found them in a charity shop up north and thought they were very 'me'
here's a trailer for the show
In other news
I have moved to an über-trendy location in Hackney, the local butcher shop is fitted with mahogany-faced refrigerated cupboards - in the evening it becomes a restaurant where people sit on high stools at the marble chopping counters sucking bone marrow, discussing chitterling and comparing face-hair products.The new cats are excitable blonde bushbabies, bouncing off furniture and leaping improbably high heights as they stalk and pounce on each other. We are housed in a heavily securitised city loft within sight of a long-established eel-pie shop - the sort that used to serve people who worked on slagheaps or collected nightsoil for a living.
Oooohhhh! I hope Akhnaten comes here. That looks awesome. I'm a big fan of that period of Egyptian history and of Glass.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get to see it too xx
DeleteThe paragraph about the butcher made me snort out of my nose whose hairs btw I had to clip with a scissors before I went out into the meat world last weekend. As for the opera I was sitting in my car with my windows down listening to Donizetti's L'Elisir d'amore the radio turned full blast for the enjoyment of the neighbors and I was thinking about how I never liked opera until I saw it in the meat world and was then bowled over for life. xo
