Welsh National Opera
i've been listening to it on CD recently, "Der vogelfanger bin ich ja" and the queen of the nights aria are my favourites.

I saw them do La Traviata last year
absolutely fantastic (although it was my first ever opera)

I'd like to see that
only opera I've seen is Marriage of Figaro. Thoroughly enjoyable though.

my father slept through that once
mum has never forgiven him - it is still used to end any major arguements they have.
Dad 'well, you idiot, you should have got the insurance details from the man who drove into the back of your car!'
Mum 'You slept through Tosca!'
Dad 'oh, ok, I'll see to the car then'
