Both had cracked cases, so I had to replace them. I hate it when that happens...but at least the discs themselves were fine.

Kafka on Trial, Opera Fans in Heaven

COPENHAGEN, March 13 - The inaugural production at the new $441 million home of the Royal Danish Opera was a traditional staging of Verdi's "Aida," which opened in late January. This conventional choice was mandated by the 91-year-old Maersk McKinney Moller, Denmark's wealthiest man, who footed the bill for the complex and, more controversially, inserted himself into its design.

But as a statement of artistic purpose, as a bid by this adventurous company to join the top ranks of international opera, the true opening of the house took place on Saturday night with the premiere of "Proces Kafka" ("Kafka's Trial") by the Danish composer Poul Ruders and the British librettist Paul Bentley, their second major collaboration. Mr. Ruders is a prodigiously skilled and daringly imaginative craftsman, and "Kafka's Trial" is a brilliant achievement: a grotesquely comic, bitterly satirical and, ultimately, deeply moving work that hooks you for two onrushing and uninterrupted hours.

After physical therapy, I'll stop at the jeweler at 86th and Broadway for a new watchband, then hit the market. Tomorrow, I'll run down to Toyland and see what's been going on. I hope it isn't too much of a mess.

This will be my first time answering the topic-of-the-day question on a Friday because I usually don't have much of anything in my CD or DVD players. But right now I do. I was tired of hearing Sondheim compilations and box sets with Sondheim songs I don't like, and none of the ones I do. So, for Chanukah last year, Mark gave me CDs of every Sondheim show, I loaded them to my computer, and made my OWN Sondheim box set. It ended up being three CDs - about 50 songs. And Mark designed a lovely cover for them and came up with an extremely clever title: "A Multitude of Amy's...Sondheim Favorites". I've played them over and over for the past couple months.

Candide
Good Evening (comedy review with Peter Cook & Dudley Moore)
A Little Night Music

Cool! About 20 years or so ago, a friend of mine gave me a box of Playbills that a friend of his gave him and he (my friend) didn't want (he had no room to store them). There were some from the 1960s and some had ticket stubs stapled to them. I still have that box in my garage. One day, I'll go through and see what I really have.

I was thinking on my way to therapy this morning how I wish we all hadn't gone our separate ways so quickly after, and that we had stepped out for a celebration. Rob had auditions, I had been there since 10 and just wanted to go home, Michael was back to work, Joshie had to get back to BRIGADOON, Lord knows where Ben and Meggie were heading, and Sara was probably heading home to her baby Annie. I was surprised her husband didn't come.

Topic of the day:
This will be my first time answering the topic-of-the-day question on a Friday because I usually don't have much of anything in my CD or DVD players. But right now I do. I was tired of hearing Sondheim compilations and box sets with Sondheim songs I don't like, and none of the ones I do. So, for Chanukah last year, Mark gave me CDs of every Sondheim show, I loaded them to my computer, and made my OWN Sondheim box set. It ended up being three CDs - about 50 songs. And Mark designed a lovely cover for them and came up with an extremely clever title: "A Multitude of Amy's...Sondheim Favorites". I've played them over and over for the past couple months.

If this was Facebook I would have clicked like

Me too! Actually I almost did (or tried to, anyway)
