Lherm Opera

Another astonishing evening of culture in a small village hidden in the depths of the countryside.  Every year the local association puts on a concert in the little church; tickets sold on the door.  We went early to form the queue for 7 o'clock when they started selling the tickets and consequently we were in the front row.  So we had the best seats in the house!





















This year we were entertained by a soprano, Kathryn Jenkin, who regularly performs with the English National Opera and the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and a mezzo-soprano, Jeanette Ager, who has performed at numerous major venues in London and around the world.  Unfortunately her luggage got lost at Toulouse airport so she had to perform in her jeans but you didn't notice because the quality of her voice was breathtaking.

We can't believe our luck in being able to see such top quality performers at such a backwoods place. We're in the queue for next year, when we understand it will be the turn of the Tenors!
