Yes! (Woefully bad on the music side of the culture beam. I know I've heard these guys, just can't remember them. Bad at names anyway. I have Billie, Sarah Vaughn but not much Ella. I have some Duke but not much Basie - although my Dad is a huge jazz fan so have heard it there in between operas.)
Ballet over opera. I've never been to an opera, ever. I'm sure I'm missing something, but it's out of my budget to indulge much in that sort of thing, whereas I used to go to the ballet all the time in my twenties.
Yep, me as well. Seen lots of Ballet. Only opera I've seen was two bad renditions of Carmen, which I'm told isn't true opera anyway. Most on TV or CD and somehow doesn't move me. And it's outside my budget. Way outside at the moment. Ballet...has always made me happy.
