By a stroke of luck, Ghost the Musical was playing in Macau while we were there, and ticket prices were half that of Singapore, so it was not to be missed! Not my favourite musical, but well worth seeing at Macau prices!

One of the parents in Shanhong's school was taking part in an opera (she's in the picture below), and very kindly treated us to tickets!  So a night at the opera it was!  Unfortunately the Singapore Lyric Opera does not offer video clips of their work - and so I cannot show you anything of what we saw. However, as there was one aria I recognised, I thought I would include a version of that song instead. What made it even more special, is that is one of the pieces Shanhong had to sing to enter her Conservatory as a young student!

Never one to miss the Christmas musical, we were off to Birmingham. Christine joined us this year - so a (very) quick look down the main street in the rain was followed by good theatre. My school is performing Hairspray next year - so it will be interesting to see how they do in comparison!
