I attended my first Opera at the Gaiety in 1945.[La Boheme] I had to Queue up outside a side door, pay my sixpence to be admitted and then worked my way up to the Gods. [To-day July 18 2005 I learned that they pulled down the "old " Gods in the late Fifties.] I was studying Music at the time but I learnt more about the appreciation of Opera from fellow Queuers. They didn't have much money but could always find a 'tanner' to pay for their admission to The Gods.
