Great show in Paris last night at the Olympia. Fantastic audience. Shame we get no support from the record company there...

Stopped off in Manchester yesterday to see Rufus Wainwright's opera, "Prima Donna", at the Palace Theatre. As you can see, Rufus came dressed as an opera composer (Verdi, possibly).
I enjoyed the opera, particularly the performance of Janis Kelly.

Go to the link to read an interview with Pet Shop Boys in yesterday's Scotland On Sunday newspaper.
UPDATE: Neil and Chris point out that only the lyrics for "Nothing has been proved" were written before Pet Shop Boys existed. The music was completely new. And Neil would never say "Christ Almighty!"
