I like Arsenal, classical music, opera, history and entertaining wife and kids. Views are own.

@ClassicalCritic The two Tchaikovsky symphonies 5 & 6 were recorded and have received very good reviews.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

@ClassicalCritic She has done some great Tchaikovsky with the LPO. I have also seen her perform a very good Bruckner 4 and excellent Shostakovich 10, again with the LPO.

@OperaCreep If it wasn't ok for Oasis to do dynamic pricing,should an Arts Council funded organisation be doing so? I note that the Southbank Centre also has dynamic pricing.

Very enjoyable Tannhäuser tonight @deutsche_oper Camilla Nylund was superb as both Venus and Elisabeth. I also really enjoyed KFV's interpretation of Tannhäuser.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

What a superb Tristan und Isolde at the Deutsche Oper tonight.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

I have only just heard of the passing of Willie Young. The Hadjuk Split game is one of my earliest Arsenal memories. RIP

[James Flattery @jflatter]

Musically splendid Siegfried tonight at La Scala.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

First visit to La Scala for Siegfried. David McVicar's production, which is conducted by Simone Young.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

@TwitOpOldFarts I also agree. I thought it was quite an uninspiring programme this year.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

@soundstoryuk @neworder @peterhook Regret and World. Although I preferred the Oakenfold remix of World.

[James Flattery @jflatter]

A very enjoyable but imperfect performance of the Verdi Requiem conducted by Riccardo Muti.

[Mel Brooks @MelBrooks]

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. He said, “Do you think Mel would let me play it? I’ve always wanted to do a comedy.” Needless to say, I was over the moon and he was perfect.

@ItsuOfficial I can't DM you as I now need to pay for a subscription. Forget about it!

[James Flattery @jflatter]

@ItsuOfficial could you tell your staff in Victoria Street to put some actual chicken in your chicken noodle soup. Just paid £5.75 for noodle soup. I don't have time to walk back, but I would have done so if I did.
