Lohengrin. opera. sandwiches. cake

I usually expect to doze comfortably through the second act of an opera, and awake with some good ideas for poetry in my mind. However, the WNO production of Lohengrin at Wales Millenium Centre this evening was so thrilling and beautiful that I stayed conscious for the whole evening.

Our usual Wagner tribute picnic in the two intervals celebrated the swan, of course. Here are the sandwiches, photographed on a stylish leatherette seat;

and here is the cake, with a curiously relevant cake tin in the background;

Hamlet. A Tribute.

 Here is Hamlet meeting his father's ghost, in a tribute to the new production at the RSC.

It's a collaged card, with finger puppets.

An economical way to have Hamlet in your home, so much more convenient than great big actors who would no doubt need feeding.

Hamlet and other Shalespearian finger puppet cards can be found on my website, under the For Sale menu.
