The 26, 28and 29 of April 2016, the Opera of Dijon is producing the opera Curlew Rivercomposed by the British Benjamin Britten. Curlew River, a workcreated as a little chamber opera, is one of the most fascinating musical scoreof Britten, an unique and enchanting creation. Curlew River has been inspired by a playof Nô theatre that Benjamin Britten has seen during a journey in Japan in 1956.I think that this show mustplease to the British audience ! 

T V engineer   Can anyone recommend a English speaking T V engineer to do an installation job on our new house near Nolay. Would like to contact person when next there in September,  8th to 10th . Thanks   Rupert Leggett  

Will be living in Nolay from September and want to make use of the satellite dish already there but currently Dutch TV. I understand that the dish has to be realigned to the British satellite but in addition should I buy a freesat box from UK to watch BBC/ITV channels and then get engineer to put it together or best to buy a similar box  in France ? If the latter what type of box ?

Hello. I'm looking to speak to people who have made the decision to leave the UK and move abroad for a potential documentary. At the moment it is just in the research phase so I'm just looking to talk to some people and find out more about the reasons they might move.  Thanks and all the best,  Ellie Gibbs ellie.gibbs@libertybell.tv    020 7598 7209

Hi, Can anybody advise about the dish size I will need south of Avallon in order to get Freesat?  I believe it's a standard 60cm but want to check before I buy.  Thanks

Would any keyboard player and bassist in Burgundy feel like joining three expats in playing  songs from the works of  Cole Porter, Irving Berlin etc? We are living near Pouilly  en Auxois and are keen to hear from like-minded musicians.

Bonjour mes amis (hello my friends), I have just ordered myself a double cd-usb mixing system so I can get in touch with my youth and do a bit of dj'ing in my camper. I am looking forward to this,but unfortunately when the item arrives later in the week I will have no way of playing it. I currently am listening to my music through my laptop and a cinema sound system,which I am quite sure will not be compatible with the new system as it is powered off the headphone and external usb sockets from my computer. This means (I believe) that I will have to get another system to connect the red and white male sockets to that come with the mixing set up,and I am guessing (though open to be proved wrong) that an amp and speaker (s) is my option. Please hold in mind that I am in a van and space is very much an issue,so as small as I can go,the better. I am thinking of anything upto about 200 watts,though will settle for as little as 50 if needs must. I would appreciate your advice. Many thanks in advance Jamie xx

Hello I'm trying, without any luck,  to buy a dvd (used or new) of Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld". I believe that the BBC performed this operetta many years ago, but don't think it was put out for general distribution. Would love to be proved wrong! There IS one available with Honor Blackman as Eurydice - would buy it but can't imagine her as a singer. Any comments would be appreciated.  Ferdinand 2
