If his Rentmen reviews are to be believed you can’t go wrong.

Very cute

Last night I attended a concert version of La Gioconda at the Sydney Opera House. A dream cast. Jonas Kaufmann, Ludovic Tezier and a magnificent Gioconda the Spanish soprano Saioa Hernandez. The rest of the cast were seasoned internationals. Pinchas Streinberg conducted.

The Sydney Opera House is 50 years old this year and I have been a patron from the beginning. After a night like last night one can be accused of overstatement but I cannot recall a more entertaining evening in the past 50 years. The singing was nothing short if spectacular and the artists were rapturously received by the audience in particular Ms Hernandez.

As an aside I surprised this opera is not performed more often. It is wonderfully tuneful and surely no harder to cast than the big Verdi operas.

I admire his modesty.

Wow! Cute.

Beautiful and no tattoos. Blessed relief!

He looks very cute.

The comments on this earlier thread are overwhelmingly positive.

He is quoted as telling one client that he needn’t worry about discretion as he is too busy talking about himself to talk about anyone else. Very amusing.

The beaches in downtown Nice itself are blue round stones but at least downtown has beaches unlike most coastal cities and the old harbor and historic hotels and even the old opera make it pretty scenic. The art gallery district and all the gay bars are also there. 10 or 20 miles out from downtown there's sand beaches but I like the downtown mixture. I discovered next to the volleyball courts, which have sand of course, there is a sand area where many of the volleyball players lay out. And the view from the hills, including even the Nice sign coastal switchback curve, is beautiful. 

I was prepared to move on to Cannes and St Tropez because I was afraid that Nice would be more common folk but was surprised it's very upscale now and no Brits anymore (they can't afford it..the Old Town hotels are outrageously-priced now.) There's a lot of art galleries in the gay bar area and the Eagle was very very "Eagle". The food is great and nice restaurants but very reasonably-priced. Didn't hear any Brits but a lot of Americans. 

I still want to try Toulon with all it's gay bars and 25,000 French Marines. 

My visit was a long time ago. Perhaps I should give it another chance.

Coming from a city with many magnificent beaches I found Nice a little disappointing. My boss at the time had lived in Europe and warned me Nice would be full of lower middle class Englishman wanting to know where they can buy fish and chips. I think he had a point.

A stunner 

Cute

Any updates on Lagoa?

Beautiful 

Very cute

Rentmen reviews are mixed to say the least.

I written here a number of times over the years that my great unfulfilled operatic wish was hear Juan Diego Florez in the flesh. Well he is giving a recital at the Sydney Opera House in November. A dream come true!

I like your taste.

How was your second day? 

Quite good. I couldn’t resist a second helping of Nicholas.

Greetings from Barcelona!

My first visit in 4 years. Went to Thermas this afternoon. A very nice selection. I chose well, Nicholas from Chile. Adorable. I will return tomorrow!

£500 an hour…! I wonder why he hasn’t found his right guy yet!

That’s outrageous even by London standards.
