Chiz, chiz, chiz (to quote nigel molesworth) ...
... because the cinema from which I had chosen to view the ROH's Sicilian Vespers broadcast developed a satellite fault. That wasn't the end of it either. The management was pretty decent in their apologies; full refund, guest pass to any future show, including ROH broadcasts (and in any branch of the chain, including IMAX), and free entry to any other film showing on the premises tonight if desired. Since I was out for the evening anyway, I chose another film - and then they forgot to load the movie!
Forty minutes after the announced starting time (and yes, of course 30 minutes would have been taken up by ads and trailers), we were still sitting looking at a blank screen. Another customer had the good sense to go ask what the problem was; me, I had my nose in a book, as is my habit when waiting for just about anything. We were subsequently spared the ads and trailers, which is always a good thing.
So I'm going to have to wait for Radio 3 to broadcast Vespers, and I'd really done my homework for this one! It's the only mature Verdi I haven't seen now. But the evening turned out passably entertaining nevertheless, even if partially for the wrong reasons.
