Oh, that sounds fantastic
We'll have to do a "Colonel Dracula goes wild rabit" bash soon.

I can't wait for everyone to be laughing with me
and by "with", I mean "at"

I reckon
that it'll be even more popular than the last bash.

Oh BTW, I enjoyed The Magic Flute on Thursday
I have to plan my next opera outing, I don't know much about the next ones that are coming to Bristol, "Die Fledermaus" and "Il Trovatore".

Batman is based on Die Fledermaus
May not be true.

I've heard about Il Trovatore
But never seen it. I think it's pretty good.

I've just looked them up on wiki
Il Trovatore is FOUR acts long, i'm not that tall but the seats in the Bristol Hippodrome are crippling. I have also already seen a Verdi opera (La Traviata) so I will probably go for Die Fledermaus.

I don't know about that one
I'll be waiting for your reviews. I wish I had more time (and money) for operas and theatres these days.

It is expensive (£40 a ticket) but I only do it once or twice a year
Apparently Die Fledermaus is a comic opera by Strauss set in Vienna. Lots of waltzes and masked balls. Sounds ace!

It does
Sounds like real fun, rather than just a story. I should try to go again soon, but yesterday we made numbers of wedding and hm, and we're a bit scared today.

The Barber of Sevile
is also most excellent and amusing

die fladermaus
was the first one I ever saw, I was about 8 and it was AMAZING!

In retrospect, it was by a local amateur operatics, so it might be subjective to being 8
