Yes I knew that, but I never post encores as it spoils the element of surprise.

| Gardar will be performing the role of Rudolfo in La Boheme on 17th March and 1st April at the magnificent new Harpa concert hall in Rekjavik. The box office is now open and given the usual high price of opera tickets, I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised. www.harpa.is click on the right hand corner for an English version of the site. www.gardarthorcortes.me.uk

| Sorry I missed meeting you -have to round up 30 people coming from all directions Wonderful concert - we all felt we could have sat through it again. Please pass on to all your colleagues. Btw I sat in the part of the rehearsal with an assistant as we look after Gardar! Hope you enjoyed his contribution too. As you may have seen in previous message Gardar is starting rehearsals tomorrow for Rudolfo in La Boheme

| Hi there Yoos Forum Buddies, well good things come to those who wait!!! It was truely wonderful to see Gardar Cortes performing once again on our shores. It really was a stunning concert, the selection, although small, allowing Gardar to show levels of diversity in his range and also production of those wonderful notes in new ways. Having said that, La Donne Mobile as an opener was awesome; no quiet arias to start, no 'I'm the star yoos cant show your tonsils till the second half' ( CHEERS our Lesley you're a good 'un!!!xxx) The whole experience was sublime, Lesley was obviously thinking of Valentine's Day, with the wonderful 'Milk Tray' dress to start and the 'Roses' dress to follow a bite later. Her voice was dynamic and pleasing and to conclude the triumpherant a quite wonderful Baritone by the name of Nicholas Folwell, emitting gloriously rich bournville notes belying his small stature. I was pleased to meet up with 'Londoner' along with other 'Usual Suspects' from our small but very happy band. I also managed a quick word with Russell, although I didnt know about his suggestion of meeting up prior to the concert as I'd avoided this thread as I' d been warned he'd posted details of the itinery and I always prefer to be ignorant prior to a performance, which is very easily done. Anyway I managed a quick hello and handshake prior to the commencement of the second half(I did try and meet up with him and other KJ Forum members at the Royal Albert Hall but couldn't find the right bar!!!) See Yoos Soon, Keith Mc. p.s.(did I mention I'm off to Iceland to see our maestro in the lead role of Rodolfo in La Boheme? Keep it quiet, I dont want the border guards gettin any advance notice. Mums the word.) p.p.s.'that wonderful tenor from Iceland' is ok but I prefer 'Britains greatest tenor', as Gardar has dual nationality, and any objective assesment would surely hang this honoured mantle from his broad shoulders.

| Hi Keith and everyone Photos from the Fairfield Hall, Croydon concert now on www.gardarthorcortes.me.uk Not that I wish to wish the time away but it is getting very close to visiting Iceland. Gardar's first performance as Rudolfo in La Boheme at The Harpa. Reykjavik is on 17th March Meanwhile Gardar has been nominated for an annual Icelandic Music Award for his performance last year as Prince Tamino in The Magic Flute.
