This is the frivolous bit!
Went to a recital of Schumann Lieder at the Chatelet, given by Thomas Hampson and Wolfram Rieger.
Afterwards I asked Hampson to sign my programme, and...he complimented me on what I was wearing!!! (Wow! Imagine, one of the most beautiful and elegant people in the world complimented ME!!!!:DD)
The photo is of me with him at the Stage Door.ThomasandLeonora

Will shortly write the serious bit...review of the recital!
