Saturday night Brian and I went to a Mozart concert put on by the Oxford Bach Choir and London Mozart Players. It was held at the Sheldonian Theatre, where all of the Oxford University graduation ceremonies are held. The building is one of the most stunning and recognized in Oxford, as it's in a circular dome shape. Check it out at this website http://www.sheldon.ox.ac.uk. We went with my friend Bettina and her boyfriend Steffan. Steffan works in international law and is a lecturer at St. Anne's College. The four of us met up for drinks before the concert, as Brian had not yet met either Bettina or Steffan. We enjoyed their conversation and companionship very much and we all enjoyed the concert. We had bought the cheap seats though, so it was like sitting in wooden bleachers with no backs. We knew that going into it, but didn't think about being at the top of the dome, in a building centuries old, that it would get extremely hot! I guess they have problems of people fainting quite often from the heat - even in the winter!
