| I'm slightly sloshed, but I felt the need to convey this: At 23:30 tonight, Oslo, this tiny little burg of only 450 000 people, opened one of the largest opera houses and classical stages in the world. 30 years of political drivel and a stupendous amount of money burnt, and we've finally reached closure. Coolest moment? When 630 people involved in the building of the place stood on stage in their work-outfits and sang Verdi's "Slave Choir." Yes, I shed a tear. Big ole' softie that I am.
