The music was surprisingly approachable. As Marc in Cali has pointed out it was before Schoenberg embraced atonality. Simone Young in a promotional video said if you like Mahler you will like Gurrelieder. 
I should add the 2 performances in the 2700 seat Concert Hall were completely sold out and the spontaneous standing ovation at the end said it all.

One further anecdote about the Gurrelieder. Schoenberg initially composed the work for soloist and pianist as a gift to his wife. After Mahler composed his mammoth symphony for a thousand, Schoenberg was determined he would do one better and upped the ante and recomposed the Gurrelieder in its present form.

Delicious, those nips, yummmmm...

Wow! Beautiful!

More likely states (ironically?):  "I am not cut."

I think it’s highly unlikely that you would mistake a provider with a customer.

Perhaps I should have added the difference is about 30 years and 30 kilos.

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.

I'm in England but love to travel around Europe, particularly Eastern Europe.
Bucharest is a fantastic city- interesting architecture in a number of styles, the biggest spa in Europe (Therme), great day trips (Carpathian Mountains, Bran Castle, Peles Castle), friendly people, much cheaper than the bigger/Western European cities. I've not been since the war in Ukraine so I don't know how much that has affected things. Timisoara, another city in Romania, is just beautiful.
Glasgow is a fun city, a bit rough around the edges, and for my money more interesting than Edinburgh. Not that Edinburgh is a bad city, just a bit more sedate. If you're looking at Scotland though, you need to see the scenery- the Isles, Glencoe etc. I love Loch Leven and there's a lovely little hotel by the waterside and an incredible seafood cafe very close.
Vienna is a fantastic choice. Loads to see and do. It's very close to Bratislava, a city I adore. Easy journey by train and even nicer is the catamaran trip along the Danube.
There's lots of interesting cities in Eastern Europe to consider,: Ljubljana, Riga, Vilnius, Kaunas, before you get to the heavy hitters of Prague and Budapest.
Reykjavik is incredible but quite pricey. Blue Lagoon is closed just now but the Sky Lagoon is just as good.
Athens if you've not been before.
Istanbul is amazing.
My favourite is Malta. It has it all- architecture, food, scenery, beaches, friendly people and English is one of their official languages if that's a concern. There's a friendly gay scene in Valetta although it's small as you'd expect.
Enjoy your trip.

It’s not a conventional bathhouse of the type you encounter in the United States or Australia. At Thermas there are customers who want sex for money and providers. End of story.  As I wrote previously you will have no difficulty differentiating the two.

I know it’s not an opera but this seems the best place to discuss it.
Last night I attended a performance of Schoenberg’s cantata Gurreleider at the Sydney Opera House by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simone Young. It was the first time Sydney has heard the work and it an occasion to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer.
There were 139 players in the expanded orchestra, 3 choirs totalling 271 singers and 6 superb international soloists.
It was an astonishing overwhelming experience never to be repeated in my lifetime. The spontaneous standing ovation at the end said it all. Tremendous.
I just read a review online of the performance by the Sydney Morning Herald’s music critic. In his words “ a massive monument to the imagination, this performance was a triumph.” 
 
 

Ad doesn't read like English is his first language, as several of the sentences just don't work.
Self-description as young boy and age 25 indicates his mirror doesn't work well either.
