I was annoyed to be away last week and miss it; their Dido, Queen of Carthage in Emma chapel last year was pretty damn good (well, apart from Aeneas who I though didn't get some of the verse over well). But, I suppose, if you have to miss one, it may as well be the one which gets done fairly often (I saw the Globe production a few years ago, but it stuck firmly to the A text and so didn't have, for example, the 'see where Christ's blood streams' speech, which is pretty much the heart of the whole thing so it always confused me when people leave it out; how could it not be Marlowe?); whereas how often do you get to see a Dido?

I look forward to their Tamburlaine and especially their Jew of Malta, being the one I have performed in myself.
