In five days' time I'll be at Rheingold at the Birmingham Hippodrome and I am VERY excited. A bit weak at the knees at the thought of my first ever Ring (i.e. the whole thing, on a stage) so I'm trying to listen to it all, study the scores (piano arrangements), play it all on the piano and read dozens of books on the subject including the translation of all the words - before Wednesday. Wish me luck. Anyway if I don't like the look of it (you never know - I didn't really like Parsifal) I'll just shut my eyes and listen to the music.
