Rome

Chorus trips to Rome. Giulini conducting the B  minor mass with us surrounding the St Cecilia chorus. I took Ethel and altos to Castelgandolfo. 
Gurrelieder we had been told not to sing out so at the concert I let forth top B and the little Italian next to me got a shock. Shampoo walked off at the first rehearsal as the professional Italians did not know it. Balatsch rehearsed them.
My favourite church Sant Anselmo for Benedictines singing chant.
