Kenji

Kenji is a sushi bar under the Opera House fore court. Most excellent sushi it is too. Some of the best we've had in Sydney. Georgia devoured the seared salmon sushi and ended up having more than one.

Can't stop ordering...

Green tea ice cream and sweet red bean paste

Jerry Springer all done

It was awesome. Blasphemous, irreverent, entertaining & hilarious. It is a full on Opera - sopranos, tenors and a fat lady wearing Viking horns. The whole hog so to speak. The singing and music were excellent. The language may be obscene and the story contemporary but make no mistake, this was opera. There were some surprisingly well known faces in the cast - Marcus Graham as the security guard and Nathan Foley, former Hi-5 star, was in the choir.

Michelle gives it 3 stars, 4 and a half from me.

Dinner at Aria next.

Jerry Springer: The Opera & Aria Restaurant

This afternoon we're catching the matinee performance of Jerry Springer: The Opera at the Sydney Opera House. This is the controversial opera that has a few people frothing at the mouth because of its... um... blasphemy I suppose. Jerry Springer stars Aussie actor David Wenham and today's show is the last in this short week long run at the Opera House. The show also has a Facebook page here and a Youtube preview here.

After the show we're going to get a feed at Aria Restaurant, Matt Moran's restaurant at Circular Quay.
