Those threads will probably be fun to merge.
There is also this thread, which could be merged while at it!

I think you might be a bit confused. The post above mine was originally started as a new thread. I asked the mods to merge the threads, and my post got moved along with it. So my link now links to the same thread I was redirecting to. Maybe the mods should delete all these posts about thread mergers to keep this thread on topic, so I will report my own post.
Indeed I didn't catch that! Well, that's perhaps some of the fun that should be straightened out when merging I think. My apologies for the rant and off topics!

I am already looking forward to the live performance next weekend in a manor house (picture) near here, hosted by friends of ours:
One of the most famous intermezzi of the genre "Opera Buffa" and at the same time one of the most famous works of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736), la "Serva padrona" (The Servant as Mistress) celebrated its premiere in Napoli in 1733 and has been very popular all over the world ever since. It tells the story of the servant Serpina who, with the help of the servant Vespone, manages to convince the old bachelor Uberto to marry her and thus make her mistress.

And I am going to see Ann Sophie Mutter playing a collection of chamber music. A piano and a Cello.I am already looking forward to the live performance next weekend in a manor house (picture) near here, hosted by friends of ours:

Great - this looks promising! (We have seen A.S. Mutter live on several occasions.)And I am going to see Ann Sophie Mutter playing a collection of chamber music. A piano and a Cello.
I'll try to get some pictures .Anne-Sophie Mutter, Maximilian Hornung & Lambert Orkis

Sometimes it is difficult with the pictures, in many concerts it is not allowed to take photos.
In any case, I wish you much pleasure!
Thank you. At the end, they do pose for pictures.

That was once again a great concert, I see it as a privilege to experience such an opera very close and familiar in a intimate circle of friends and acquaintances. Excellent performance by the orchestra, singers and actors!
Afterwards, conversations with bread and wine on the terrace. Here are a few impressions of the ambience of the manor house. Approx. 15 min from our home.

In our friends Eleni Ioannidou's production, the 45-minute Intermezzo is merged with Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto Op.20 No 3. (Il Gardellino) for recorder and strings.

What a night!
- A little story about wisdom first:
This afternoon, I fell asleep on my chair, and got up just one hour before the concert! There is always traffic in London. So I rushed through traffic, keeping an eye on the clock, would I make it? Damn.
Finally, I got there 20 mins late! I ran inside, saying I have missed the first half, I have to wait for the second part outside. But I didn't have to!
WhenI put the event on my calendar, I wisely put it half an hour early! I had ten minutes to spare.
- The concert was great, the pianist took my breath away, he was really good! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_Orkis
Sophie was strict and stern while playing, but afterwards, she was very huggy, touchy, feely, lovely, like a little girl.
BTW, picture was taken from my seat, using my phone (3X optical zoom).

Thank you for the nice story from real life and the picture. I enjoyed reading it - and in the end you were still lucky and got everything right in the calendar.
It happened to us once that we traveled for 7 hours by car from Karlsruhe to see a great dance performance in Berlin, booked months in advance, expensive tickets, hotel accommodation etc. and when we went there full of anticipation, the audience came down the stairs from the theatre already. We were so very disappointed, that my wife desperately needed a drink in a bar afterwards to calm her nerves. Later the evening turned out to be quite nice after all. But one pain remains forever, because the performance will not be repeated. The event happened to start two hours earlier than usual, we had missed that.

There are precious few orchestral recordings that allow me to feel as if I were there. This is one.
