Any woman fancy becoming an Opera Buddy?

So, if your goal is the delighted shared experience of opera, plus friendship, social life and interesting interactions (but no more), wouldn't an interesting fellow opera appreciator who is also a man be an option?

Opening the field to same-sex opera appreciators would double the field, and make for a whole other range of chit chat...
 
That'll be a military band then. I like those too Capn.
I did say I'd got drunk.. Just shows, it's the sleep that does it. Went to bed feeling great. Got up feeling dreadful
 
Send him over and I'll have a look Brun No, I don't think that would work and it would probably be more difficult to find a fella than a Shiela..

Thank you.
 
Looking back on my first post above, perhaps I should point out that the tickets I hold are only for 8 shows. 7 opera, 1 classical. Spread over the period September to next May. There is a big gap from late November through to next March which bunches them up a bit, on two occasions (autumn) there is only three days between shows. But as I said it would start with just one show and if it goes beyond that the lady could pick from my list - all or a couple.
Also I have no real objection to someone who has a partner - 'cept I wouldn't want to get caught in the middle of them. I'd need to know the partner was happy with the arrangement and stayed happy with it.
I don't think there are many ladies on the forum from this area.
 
For a chance to see La Boheme again I would cheerfully wear a dress and let you call me Daphne. Unfortunately other opera goers might notice my full beard and question both your's and my sanity
 
Went to see La Traviata at Clonter Opera last Thursday, it was fantastic, soprano and tenor brilliant. Anyway I live 40 min from Buxton so always willing to attend there but don't fancy long drives to some of the other places.

That's what razors are for loved your post and posted in friendly, good humour @Kat100 and @Chris would no doubt, provide a natty selection of various hats and accessories
 

Sounds good
 

Hi John, any chance a heartfelt apology & some flowers would heal the rift? It's a shame to fall out at any age, Good luck

Hi,
I have to say your avatar concerns me a bit. That said I certainly ain't an oil painting myself.
Sorry for delay in replying. I've launched into some alterations at home. It means my main machine has remained untouched for about a week. Just come onto the forum from my laptop and promptly got lost Has the forum changed it's opening page or is it just that I had to Google to get here.
Not sure when the next one (for which I hold tickets) is at Buxton. I know the very next one is Carmen at the Pomegeanate, Chesterfield in mid September.
Please bear with me for a couple of days while I get sorted here and I'll find my list and wherever I've stored the tickets. I know precisely where they are actually but because I'm clearing the area I want to renovate it's difficult to get to. I really must start throwing things out.
I don't know if it's normal to make arrangements on here with this nosey lot watching Alternatively you could drop me a 'hello' via PM.

Tried both Chris. Wouldn't mind so much if I knew what I'd done that was so terrible. Just a few sharpish words by email.
 




You could pm each other, click on the envelope at the top of the page next to your name, underneath it will say send new message, click on that and away you go, good luck
ps it's best not to post your personal details on the open forum. All the very best J
 

Thanks Robin, I'm getting careless. Where do any messages sent thus arrive? Is there somewhere to collect them on the forum, or do they come through as email?

Hi, we had to sack the posties, far to slow, no sat nav lol So, if you would like to do a test run, click on the envelope, write my name robinredbreast in participants, then message title, add a short message and click on 'post'. You have, I think, 10 minutes to edit the message if you wish.
