Then "Hey! to you", "Good day! to you" and "Bah! to you", "Ha, ha! to you" "Boo! to you", "Pooh, pooh! to you", and that's what I should say. #gilbertandsullivan

“Whose check did you forge?”

“Old Adam’s!”

“But Old Adam is European!”

“I didn’t say I forged his passport, I said I forged his check!”

Autocorrect changed “celery” to “celerity.” This can only mean that somewhere, there’s a Gilbert and Sullivan revival well underway #language #wordplay #autocorrect #gilbertandsullivan

Singing a variation on Gilbert & Sullivan this morning.

"How Beautifully Grey the sky
The smoke is rising very high
Continue South it seems it may
And yet it rained but yesterday
Tomorrow it may pour again
I hear the country wants some rain
Yet people say
And I see why
It will keep on clear through July
Tomorrow it may pour again
I hear the country wants some rain
Yet people say
And I see why
It will keep on clear through July...

"Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream;
Highlows pass as patent leathers;
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers."

A good thing that the operetta outlasted this review. "Never mind the Why and Wherefore..."

Shocked and saddened to learn of the untimely passing of Jaie Deschene, a very talented stage performer who I directed and acted with on several occasions. RIP Jaie, you will be missed

Now for something slightly different: composers who we may not necessarily think of as classical either, because they have composed as part of a larger scene production: an operetta, a musical, or other “less prestigious” outlet, but whose works have since entered the mainstream concerts repertoire:

#JacquesOffenbach, Sir Arthur Sullivan of #GilbertAndSullivan, #GeorgeGershwin, and #LeonardBernstein are well featured too; no portrait and no editor’s pick for the operetta composers, but still…

Tomorrow we're taking our son to see The Pirates of Penzance. I hope he enjoys it! It's been years since I saw it, and I'm not sure hubby ever has. Should be fun!

Call for expressions of interest in a semi-staged G&S! The annual G&S weekend in St Dizant du Gua (France), postponed in 2020 for Reasons, wasn't replanned - yet. It could still happen this year if enough singers and at least one accompanist want to do it. #gilbertandsullivan #operetta #ruralfrance #singers #NoFee
