      Eager beaver you... Yes, Lortzing... natürlich.

      An opera entitled each of the question items: The Two Riflemen, Hans Sachs, and The Poacher.

      Take it away, Maestro

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        But is Lortzing worth a listen? Until wiki came up with him I'd never heard the name.

          I imagine it's the most terrible sub-Fledermaus cr•p

          I think there might have been an overture in one of the New Year concerts, which is why I'd heard the name... like my 'Hellmesberger' the other day

              I thought that likely, otherwise we may have heard of him, although I really don't do a lot of Opera. And, you may like to know, I have under my jumper - a tee-shirt!

                You'll be tucking into a Tesco's finest frozen paëlla next... (which I have never eaten, contrary to your libels, let the record show...!)







                Glad you're keeping warm, Anna!
