BOHÈME

Last night Markus, me and our beloved ones went to the opera house to see Puccini’s “Bohéme”. I had planned to be there 20 minutes before it started, but of course it ended up with me walking into the hall just as the music started. Stressed and ashamed I started penetrating to my seat. I got more and more stressed every second that went by as I made the effort to get through in the row of seats. When I was almost there only one obsticle remained: a sitting elderly couple who didn’t seem to eager to stand up and let me through, so emediately I decided to take a giant step over their legs. Of course it ended up with me tramping on the lady´s foot…embarrasing!! She accepted my apoligize later in the pause though. :-)

Anyway, the opera was very good, at least according to me who is not a very accustomed opera visiter. But I have actually seen bohéme once before, and that was when Markus had a minor part in it. It was back in the days when he was a member of Gothenburg´s boys’ choir together with Timo Räisänen among others… (I was also a Gothenburg boy’s choir member for a while, but I didn’t get as glorious singing jobs as Markus and Timo)

Well, well. Guess it’s time to clean up the mess in our apartment.

Have a good day!
