[mercia]

Can you think of anyone who was not aware of the applause?

sounds like Ludwig

[Angle]

Ludwig is the man and that is the performance to explore to begin with. It's all in Wikipedia.

[mercia]

oh, Caroline Unger, of course

I've forgotten what the question was now

[Angle]

Correct but what are the two roles? Think of rakes and cutters.

Oh, just twigged, agricultural - probably not, agricultural farm instruments? Very funny. Actually, I am prob so wrong, I am now off, with some music, to bed. I think I only just get the football ref, sometimes I am so slow I embarrass myself.

[Angle]

They sounds like agricultural implements, Mercia, but they aren't.

[Anna]

Are there cutter numbers, like, for Ludwig?

Edit: I am following mercia to bed. You know it makes sense.

Don Giovanni and Le Nozze di Figaro?

Oh, very droll. A.E, Housman

'Is football playing
Along the river shore,
With lads to chase the leather,
Now I stand up no more?'

Ay, the ball is flying,
The lads play heart and soul;
The goal stands up, the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal.

Sorry Angle, keep calm and carry on.

Sorry about that - blame the editor of 'Poetry Please', which last week featured Pete Postlethwaite reading Houseman.

[Angle]

Don Giovanni, yes
Le Nozze, no

[Angle]

Anna: sorry, no.

[Angle]

Before I go off to bed: what roles in the two operas did she play?

[Angle]

You are right with Unger and Donna Elvira but not about Cosi.

The opera in mind is by a different composer and is about someone who cuts or trims something everyday.

Sweeney Todd?

a barber ................ of Seville ............................... Rosina ?
gosh, you're up very early, Angle
isn't Elvira a soprano role?
I love the way wikipedia gives a cross-reference to "Fictional Hairdressers" including Audrey Roberts
