Message 1057

Last Night I watched the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2 on PBS. I had seen parts of it before, but this was the first time I saw the whole thing from the beginning. I had read the Classic Comics version when I was a kid, so I knew the story. This version had the lyrics as subtitles during the songs, which helped. It is very interesting as an opera and it is amazing that the Victor Hugo story, published in about 1880 could be translated so effectively into English. It is a tribute to the power of Victor Hugo’s writing that it resonate so well more than a century later. If any of you are interested and have a few hours to spare, I highly recommend that you watch it. I am feeling good today. I have almost finished my Keflex prescription
