Please say hello, particularly if you have anything you’d like to say. If you’re shy about posting, you can email me at barczablog at gmail dot com (and yes that’s a change to my email address).
If you’re an artist / company who might like to be reviewed please feel free to say hi. I don’t like negativity in my reviews, but by the same token, if i am not interested and/or intrigued i am more likely to write nothing than post a hurtful review. Any klutz can kick down a house of cards. Making something is much harder, and so I have a lot of respect for performing artists, even when i don’t think the performance worked.
Currently I’m mostly posting reviews, but from time to time I will sound off on just about anything.
Thank you for a comprehensive and inciteful write-up. Appreciate the recognition. Bill
This is irene like it

Dear Leslie Barcza,
Thank you for reviewing the Seven Deadly Sins concert presented by Against the Grain Theatre, back in March. (I was the tenor soloist in the Britten piece).
I am writing to let you know about an exciting in-concert presentation of Lakme that will be presented by Opera by Request in a few weeks’ time.
We have been rehearsing heavily over the past two weeks. And it’s evident that it’s going to be a fantastic show!!
I’m also learning that there is lots of buzz in the opera singer community about this. A surprising number of my colleagues seem very excited, both because Lakme seems to be rarely done, and because the cast is… well… rather well-stacked!
I hope that you might consider joining us for an evening of beautiful music on August 10th, at 7:30pm, at College Street United Church (College & Bathurst).
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Christopher
Hi Leslie,
) Hope to see you again in the near future!
Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed having you and Erika stay with us. She mentioned your blog which is very impressive and interesting. I would appreciate it if you mentioned “Be My Guest B&B”. (only if it’s good
Cheers,
Linda
We were joking over breakfast (Nicole & I) that the other lady –who was at her first ever B & B– would be in for a shock next time, given that you’re simply the best B & B i’ve ever been to.
I found this picture of your front door: http://images.bbcanada.com/3933a.jpg I find myself trying to invent pretexts, reasons why i might go to Brantford. I am sure we’ll be back.
