A new Kepler opera plan - Linz in January

While looking for reviews of the performances last week of Glass's Kepler in New York, I was somewhat surprised to see mention of the full opera performances still being on in Linz. One site even had a short video clip of it. And sure enough, a bit more searching finds the website for the Linz production and the apparent availability of tickets for the remaining performance. Less than two minutes after I discover this, Linda arrives home and is able to eventually guide me through the German language website and acquire a ticket for Saturday January 9th, the last performance.

This is hugely exciting news - or at least I think so. A couple of hours later and I have a rough itinerary. Travel on Wednesday January 6th on the overnight ferry to Hook of Holland. Thursday, drive to Tubingen for overnight visit. Friday to Linz and a day and a half there before the Saturday evening performance. Then back to Hook of Holland on the Sunday for the late evening crossing back. This looks a very good plan at the moment and should enable me to take in a bit of Kepler related atmosphere before the performance
