Thank Goodness!

Thank goodness for Ethiopian Airways!

Through thick and thin during the pandemic, they never stopped flying. Even now, with the scary talk of conflict with the Tigrayans, they continue to fly. The onslaught of talk in the media has discouraged most airlines from flying but Ethiopian Airlines has never faltered.

They have a lovely newish International Terminal with an abundance of restaurants, coffee houses, duty free shops and lounges. Its a pleasure to fly through Addis Ababa to ones destination especially with the great service received during the flights. The flight attendants are superb, the food most tasty, and full marks to this airline for keeping the travel flag flying.

Christmas 2021 was a debacle for travellers worldwide, families torn apart, thousands of flights cancelled, but Ethiopian Airlines remained serene, unruffled and tranquil through it all.

The airline took a mighty knock when the 737 Max crashed outside Addis Ababa in 2019. My daughter 'She Who Must Wear Kevlar' was the very first journalist on the scene, and this awful scene will remain with her and hundreds of people worldwide forever.

Full marks to this spunky airline from a spirited country with so much impressive history.

THURSDAYS 20, 27 JANUARY & 3 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. LINE OF DUTY: SERIES 4
In a career-defining case, DCI Roz Huntley (Thandie Newton) is under intense pressure from her superiors to apprehend a serial murderer after months of fruitless investigation. When a young man is charged doubts around his guilt lead the chief forensic investigator to AC-12. Is Roz ignoring forensic evidence that might prove the young man's innocence AC12's Supt Hastings places Kate Fleming undercover inside Roz's team and with Steve Arnott piling on pressure from the outside, Roz is forced to act decisively. A mother of two, Roz will do anything to stop her life from unravelling. As suspicions mount and the case becomes ever more complex, AC12 themselves come under threat.
- Out of nowhere, the tempo suddenly rocketed from quietly-creeping tension to brain-jangling red alert. [The Arts Desk]
- What can I say WOW!! - best series ever, impossible to equal, superb nail-biting drama, so many twists. [Amazon]
- This is less like watching TV, and more like being abducted by it, cuffed, then dragged along. [Telegraph]
- We're less than 10 minutes in, and I'm a wreck. He likes to start a series using jump leads and a defibrillator, does LoD creator Jed Mercurio. [Guardian]
Admission: US$2.00 - or $5.00 the series [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 21 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. HUMPERDINCK: HANSEL AND GRETEL Carriages: 8.30 p.m.
Hansel and Gretel is generally regarded as a children's opera; but, in fact, it is a masterpiece to be enjoyed by listeners of all ages. Humperdinck was heavily influenced by Wagner and in Hansel and Gretel he produced an opera in the Wagnerian style but more accessible than Wagner's operas in length and humanity and, as one critic remarked, 'this is one of the few operas ever written which is beautiful from beginning to end'! Although often associated with Christmas, perhaps began because of its premiere on 23 December 1893 (and this performance from the Met comes from Christmas Day 1982!), it was one of the Covid casualties, initially scheduled to commemorate the centenary of Humperdinck's death on 27 September 1921.
- The Metropolitan Opera's lovely Christmas day performance, sung in intelligible English, is miles above the video competition. Look no further. [MusicWeb International]
- Cheerfully evokes a magic world of woodland sprites and candy dreams.. [New York Post]
- Delightful production with two great leads who actually convince that they are children. This is very much a chocolate box production (which is probably what the composer intended) and, if you like your Humperdinck with plenty of sugar which I do, then this is marvellous. [Amazon]
Admission: $2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]

FRIDAY 28 JANUARY AT 6.30 P.M. BERLIN PHILHAMONIC CONCERT Carriages: 8.20 p.m.
The concert is conducted by Bernard Haitink, one of the great conductors of the last half-century who died aged 92 in October last year. The programme includes:
The concert marked the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death in the magnificent setting of Krakow's Gothic St Mary's Basilica and included a performance of his Second Piano Concerto with Emanuel Ax as the soloist. To a certain extent, the concert also marked a return to the pianist's roots, for he had been born in Lviv as the son of Polish Jews and lived for a time in Warsaw before emigrating to Canada with his parents in 1959.
The programme also includes Schumann' 'Spring' Symphony - Schumann admitted to having written the work 'in that first flush of spring that arguably continues to inspire man even in ripe old age, overwhelming him anew each year'. And a basilica naturally demands the performance of sacred music, and so Christine Schafer opened the concert with two sacred works by Mozart, the motet Exsultate, jubilate and Et incarnatus est from the Great Mass in C minor. As always, her lean and agile soprano voice is perfectly suited to the Salzburg composer's music.
Admission: $2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members]
