Than ks Zeb, I know of it of course but it's a bit out of the way as "planned". We return to Calais via M.Blanc tunnel then up France to the festival which is near Fontainblue.

We hope to be 'doing' Verona this year - not sure what we're going to see, 'cos I hope someone else is organising it Cool

Last year, we saw Madame Butterfly during the Puccini festival, held annually in the theatre by his summer palace at Torre del Lago Puccini. Magical!

Just a thought for Hampshire or anyone else contemplating a similar trip.

Are you aware how expensive the tunnel tolls are?

Or how beautiful the passes are! Laughing Laughing Most of the terrifying hairpin bends have long since been smoothed out, and the gradients are generally not a problem. If you've never done it, you should go over at least one high pass - and not for the cash saving either!!

Cheers Very Happy

Yes thanks Zeb.

Ref Opera. I'm going to blame the wife now.

When we talked about booking last week, she wasn't sure and when and how and all that. I did want to get decent numbered seats. In a week they're all sold so we're with the plebs in the gods on cushions on concrete now. Oh well it's a one off, but it could have been better.

We had plastic seats, but we still needed the cushions - especially since they have "Puccini Festival 2007" printed on them Wink

Thanks for the pics. It looks roughly where I was aiming for, expense no object!!!

Carole is now worrying that we will have to be glued to the seats by 6pm as they not allocated.
