Advantages: Good introduction to the Opera and Mozart Disadvantages: Narrative breaks up the musical flow
In a promotion aimed to make Opera more understandable and accessible, Naxos have produced a series of CDs entitle ?Opera explained?. The ninth in the series released on 22nd October 2002, is The MagicFlute composed by Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.
All the CDs in the series roughly follow the same format. The first section of the CD, lasting for approximately quarter of an hour, provides a brief and basic biography Of Mozart and illustrated by excerpts from a variety of his works.
The recording continues with musical highlights from the Comic Opera interspersed with explanations of the plot and music.

Unfortunately, we only spent 1 night in Galway but what a contrast to Dublin. Having been to Ireland over 10 times and spent most of it in Navan & Dublin, it was nice to go somewhere different.
Getting There>>>>>>>
Situated on the West Coast, Galway is about 3 hours drive from Dublin. It's meant to be 2.5 hours by train, but ours took 5 hours (not nice). If drivings not for you, then a coach goes from O'Connell Street every hour, costs 9 punts one way or 12 return and isn't too bad.

Firstly , the trains only run 6 times a day, aren't the best but quite cheap. Secondly, Galway isn't massive, so you'll run out of things to do, unless all you want to ...
Advantages: good storyline easy to read without getting lost, lots of detail Disadvantages: If you are thinking of a bedtime read, think again..youll be there all night

Did you fall in love with the atmosphere of the house? Or was it all pre destined? And what as all this got to do with the Magic Cottage by James Herbert?
Midge and Mike lived in London and were wanting to move either to the outskirts of London or into the countryside. Midge was a well known child's illustrator and Mike was a well paid backing musician. They had been looking for a while for houses till one day one leapt out at midge in the national paper.

The cottage was set in a small forest, not far from a small village in the New ...
