Still wonderful....after all these years

Ah London. Having left a great city, we arrived in London to spend time visiting friends in another of the world’s great cities. Andrew, Mary, Roger and I headed into the city for lunch at the Thomas Cubitt, a stroll through Belgravia/Green Park and Covent Garden before finishing our day with a theatre performance in the West End.

Our choice (okay, it was really mine) for our evening performance was the London staging of “The Phantom of the Opera”. Shaw, Maryanne and Mike were in our thoughts as Roger remembered a previous visit to see the Phantom in Melbourne. Scary to think that memorable performance was early 1991.

Last night’s production was lovely and the lead singers were excellent. The staging is still a feast for the eyes. I now have the strains of the beautiful music floating through my head. Guess the “angel of music” still has quite an impact.  Roger, funnily enough, is humming YMCA.
