Die lustige Witwe


Hello,

I was lucky enough to attend this beautiful rehearsal recently in the historic Saint Werburgh's Church, Dublin. It was a warm summer's evening in late May and the soprano Sarah Power was warming up with The Merry Widow by Franz Lehár. I sat at the back and filmed. I've posted the link here. Please take a moment from your busy day to have a listen. I think you'll find it sublime.

Yours, humbly,

Brian

Song (Verse 2)

  The only time he got high these days was in his dreams, And that's where the story of the robot started to appear, The strangest thing nothing was as it seems, So he gave it a name called it Broken Future... © Brian Ahern 2024

Song in Em & G (Verse 1)

He gazed upon the sleepy Sunday towns of summertime, Crawled back to his machine determined to go on, He wrote a thousand bad stories before he wrote a good one, In his mayfly life between the two great silences... © Brian Ahern 2024
