Can I like that photo very much without coming across as VERY creepy? Do I get some indulgence points for it being After-Halloween-Day - which I don’t give a toss about, but that’s nobody’s business :D

@billknight.bsky.social, who takes wonderful photographs of opera productions, inter alia, for @theartsdesk.bsky.social, came round to document the compelling horror of the fire in my flat, before the clear-up begins. Which it still hasn't, after five weeks. We kick and prod the insurers daily.

So many classy pleasures in Mariame Clément's new Figaro at Glyndebourne, with a splendid cast led by Louise Alder and Huw Montague Rendall, but the conducting throws a few rocks in the way. Otherwise, sheer delight. theartsdesk.com/opera/le-noz...
Le nozze di Figaro, Glyndebourne review - perceptive humanity in period setting
