I’ve received several emails asking why I didn’t post details about the world premiere of Cirque’s ZAIA on Aug 28, 2008. I told one friend “it went well – we did it and people clapped.” (See how utterly interesting I can be?)

Sven and Ole Joke #274
Two young men from up in Minnesooooota were looking at a Sears catalog and admiring the models.Ole says to Sven ‘Have you seen the beautiful girls in this catalog?
‘Sven replies, ‘Yes, they are very beautiful. And look at the price!’ Ole says, with wide eyes, ‘Wow, they aren’t very expensive. At this price, I’m buying one.
‘Sven smiles and pats him on the back. ‘Good idea! Order one and if she’s as beautiful as she is in the catalog, I will get one too.’
Three weeks later, Sven asks his friend Ole, ‘Did you ever receive the girl you ordered from the Sears catalog?’
Ole replies, ‘No, but it shouldn’t be long now. I got her clothes yesterday!’
Opera
 
Det er temmelig hårdt at gå på arbejdet efter en dejlig lang ferie. Men i morgen er det weekend og vi skal til Svendborg, ja nærmere Valdemar slot og hører opera.
Her i huset er vi store fan af opera, min mand mere end andre. Men især disse udendørs operaer er dejlig at gÃ¥ til. Sidste weekend var vi til opera i Teater Hedeland (tæt ved Roskilde), og se Turandot. Det er den med arien”Nessun dorma”, som Pavarotti udødeliggjorde. Lyt til den via youtube linket i højre side af bloggen.
Men altsÃ¥, udendør opera er dejligt. Vi medbringer picnic kurv og sidder og hygger os et par timer før forestillingen, læser om handlingen i “Bogen om opera”. Stemningen til disse arrangementer er meget afslappet, glade, positive folk der er interesseret i opera. Og denne gang bemærkede vi at mange unge mennesker havde fundet vej. Det er mÃ¥ske ved at være moderne at hører opera.
