OK well the date for putting my money where my mouth is now approaches. Having received the dates and prices for the Ring Cycle at Covent Garden at the Royal Opera House next year, I am glad that I worked late last week and also am coming in this Saturday. By my calculations, my remuneration for same, sans tax, should just cover one seat in the amphitheatre for an entire Cycle. I am aiming for Cycle 3 with Mighty Bryn and Gorgeous Placido, but will put as back up Cycle 2, minus Placido. I am sure he won't mind.
So with a fair wind and all fingers crossed I will be sitting at the ROH next October, yes that is right I have to book that far ahead, listening to B & P (always hoping of course that they are not stricken with a throat infection or laryngitis).
Ticket applications have to be in by the middle of November so wish me luck.
