Does trousers mean jeans and/or combats?

If not then I don’t own a pair of trousers apart from suit trousers.

Suit trousers will do ya.

I went to see Ludovico Einaudi there last year in the most casualist of attires and didn’t look out of place. Jeans and a t-shirt will do nicely

44

Riff-raff like you, wearing cowboy clothing, shouldn’t be allowed near a high culture experience like opera.

45

It is actually Philip Glass playing solo piano .

Jeans it is - just have to try to get the cow shit stains out of them.

46

A minimalist musician only requires minimal clothing attire so you’d get away with the jeans and a t-shirt effort there.

47

This is fairly minimal.

Good stuff Franster.

I never heard of that bloke before. Definitely going to check out his stuff.

Corelli is the daddy.

Opera Ireland’s Tosca at the Gaiety is really taking a pounding from the critics. I must say I was sceptical of the composition from the very start.

I know it’s not an opera, far from it… But I rewatched Les Mis the weekend with the boss lady* and the below is a cracking song -

Empty chairs at empty tables

No, Mark, ‘Boss Lady’ is perfectly acceptable in my eyes.

Cheers mate… I’m looking to widen my vocab in this regard to more than princess.

I’ll be going to a proper opera, Nixon in China in the BGE theatre.

I don’t really like opera. Never does it for me.
