Hark!

If you haven't perused the Sydney Symphony 2011 Season prospectus, and your tastes align with mine, you'll be excited to hear that in May the Opera House will host a performance of Howard Shore's "Fellowship Of The Ring" score, accompanied by the film (but, sadly, not Enya). And frothing at the mouth when I tell you that in October it'll be the turn of "Metropolis" - live Gottfried Huppertz score, complete restored print. Might I suggest a geeky four-concert subscription comprising that pair, February's "Peer Gynt" (narrated by John De Lancie, aka Q from "Star Trek: The Next Generation") and July's "The Planets" (with high-def space footage from NASA)? www.sydneysymphony.com
