    Well, I see the new Austrian regime's political objectives have quickly had an effect on the nation's cultural life. At today's Neujahrskonzert the Wiener Philharmoniker's female representation was down to six from last year's astonishing high of, er... eleven (out of some 100 musicians: you do the maths). The others had been sent back to their kitchens to iron dirndls and bake strudel. On the other hand, the musical fare was not at all totalitarian; I mean, there were waltzes by Strauss, and Strauss, and, er... Strauss.

    As a protest, I've informed the new Chancellor (Mistah Kurz - he dead to me) that I will not be pre-registering for the 2019 concert. Instead, I'm going to take a punt on a little Wagner at Bayreuth. I can't see anything going wrong in Germany after all.
