It’s That Time Of Year When My Thoughts Naturally Turn To Rakes

So of course we’re going to see Don Giovanni this weekend.

To set the mood we made Daughter watch Amadeus last night.

I’m not so sure about the setting for this particular production, however; anytime a review mentions “odd directorial choices” I get a little nervous…

   Back in the days of VHS rentals, I got Amadeus by mistake once. Apparently, the renter before me rented Amadeus and Local Hero at the same time and mixed up the cases. I wanted to see Local Hero again. Since we had Amadeus and the store was closed, we went ahead and watched it. Wasn’t bad at all.
