Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden

attended the Royal Opera and watched the opera La Boheme tonight. She sat in the Royal box of course, but her boyfriend Daniel Westling wasn't allowed to so he sat in the box reserved for members of the court. This was a private visit and not official. Our box is opposite the Royal Box but this was actually the first time any royal has been there while we have. My friend and I usually go once a month during season so this was rare. I'm happy to say that it looked like she enjoyed the opera and even shed a tear. I and C of course cried. Puccini was a genious in expressing strong, human emotions in his music I think. Mimi was sung for the first time by Maria Fontosh and she did a wonderful Mimi. The conductor was Pier Giorgio Morandi whom we have seen before conducting Il Trovatore. He's so gifted especially when it comes to Italian composers. This was a wonderful evening and now I'm home still filled with that wonderful music and are taking that with me when I go to bed....

Never let go....

I'll try again to upload this videoclip from the studio featuring Jona, Chris, Bianca, Antonio and all the other kids and Helen. I had to put it on youtube because it was too big to upload here. If it doesn't open automatically just look for "never let go" and it's the one that says Bianca and Antonio...Enjoy! http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=6806D0vhlUI I'm off to the Royal Opera soon. I'm going with my good friend C, as usual, and we are going to watch Puccinis "Boheme" so I'm pretty sure I will cry before the end of it. A very sad story and so wonderful music. I wish you all a wonderful evening. Thank you J for the good advice to take a photo of the recipes I put here. I will try to do that in the future (just have to remember :-D)
