Good to see that they are now recovering from the stress of the hefty electricity bills. Miracles do happen.

I have mentioned this before, and my thoughts went beyond our dear Michelle. It looks like we both smell a rat.

“takkumpanja lil-orkestra kien hemm is-sopran….”

[Daphne – Missed that: so in Labour world, the soprana accompanies the orchestra and not the other way round.]

How wonderful to be among the first to hear from those two bright new composers, Du-VOH-rek and Alben-EEZ, for example. Still, I’m sure that the very best moment was when they brought out the “supran” to sing a selection from “La Bo-KHEEM”.

So sorry I missed it.

When the conductor announced that they were going to collect the money, it was a total “gabra tal-knisja” scenario with loads of people fiddling around for coins. A number of people did actually give notes though.

Imagine, getting to watch the MPO for free- at Girgenti- and considering a euro to be an adequate donation. Not to mention the people who just passed the money tray on without giving anything.

I doubt that many people there actually ever watched the philarmonic though (there was some serious inter-movement clapping), so they might have been unaware of how much they would usually pay to go to one of it’s concerts. Still, a donation in cents is stingy in any scenario.
