Singing Monkeys

Cambridge Youth Opera presents The Magic Flute | Cambridge Junction

If this is half as good as last year's Dido it will be very good.  Monkey boys are in the chorus - and in the dragon.

We have tickets for Thursday with the grandmonkeys.  I wouldn't mind seeing it on two nights to keep someone company.

Oooh! How splendid! I wish I was still in Cambridge (or had time at present to pop across) because that's one of my favourite works!

Thanks for info - we've booked for Friday.

Cool!
Look out for monkey boys in the two extremities of the dragon and as Goth priests.

We saw them. The whole production was very good - lots of excellent and very clear singing, and good acting as well. I think it was a good venue for the production too.

Anne said "The plot doesn't make any sense."
I said "You haven't played enough Dungeons and Dragons." After following the plot "twists" in the second half, I think I have to add "...with a GM who is making it up as they go along,"

Monkey boys agree completely. Squirrel wants to point out that he'd be ashamed to run a campaign with such poor preparation.

Glad you enjoyed.
