By Jove, £52.50 for bed and full Ulster breakfast at the Old Inn, Crawfordsburn, County Down, in December.
I'm attending an annual National Trust bash.
That's not far off the price of a dress circle cost for a grand opera or Gilbert & Sullivan at the Grand Opera House, Belfast; when they used to produce decent grand opera in our capital city.
Of course, the polyester suits and skirts in the GOH now appeal to the more popular - or populist - taste.
Ooops. Sorry; that is not politically correct.

Actually I can't imagine what would be more populist than G&S - it's hardly the Ring Cycle is it?!

Touché, J ;-)
Let's have more G&S, and Wagner, at any rate.
I shall simply have to bide my time until my next visit to the Metropolis fpr a grand opera.
