My choir’s performance of _Roméo et Juliette_, by Berlioz, will be broadcast live from the Sydney Opera House on Friday night (6 June), in a concert starting at 8.00 pm\* Australian eastern time. The orchestra and choir will be conducted by Charles Dutoit, a renowned Berlioz specialist. It’s a stunning work and should, I hope, be a great performance.

Just a bump since the performance is tonight. ---

Cheers for the notice. I look forward to it - hopefully I’ll be by a computer with the requisite software. ---

Break a leg, **Cunctator**! Or should I say _in bocca al lupo_? ---

Dang! I just missed it. Any chance it will get played again - I noticed they had a kind of archive. Hope it went well! ---

Last night’s performance went very well, as did this afternoon’s, despite the horn player who stuffed up the cue for our offstage bit both times. I’ll post the review if one appears. ---
