Two elderly ladies attend an outdoor classic music concert. It's nice, but they don't know the names of the pieces, and cannot find a program. Then as the chorus and orchestra join together for some Handel, one says "Look, dear, there's a notice next to the stage. Maybe that's the program."

So her friend struggles to her feet, goes and looks at the notice, comes back with a big smile and says. "You were right! It's the refrain from 'spitting'."

Husband and wife are in the butcher's, who always has classic music playing. They're looking at the cuts of meat trying to decide what to get, when the wife looks up, motioning with her head to the speaker on the wall and says "What's that?"

"The Tales of Hoffman," replies the butcher.

The husband, still staring at the display, says "You know how to cook those?"

A young opera lover says to his girlfriend, "I'd love to see Madame Butterfly."

The friend, who is prepared to give him some leeway, replies, "Well, if you want. But only if her husband's home."

"I see 'The Flying Dutchman' is coming soon."

"Oh, Good! I love Andre Rieu."

As they walk up the path, a couple in their smartest clothes are asked by their nosey neighbor, "Well, look at you two! And where are we going this evening?"

"Off to Mozart's 40th," replies the wife.

"Isn't that lovely. Give him my best wishes. Friend of your son's, is he?"

Eight-year-old Granddaughter is taken to The Magic Flute. On the way home she's asked, "Did you like that?"

"Oh, yes, it was lovely, but different to what I imagined."

"Why? What did you think it would be like?"

"I thought it would have something to do with what mum says when she has champagne. She says she pours it into her magic flute. "

"We had music appreciation at school today."

"Was it good?"

"Yeah, not bad. We had music by Bert Hogan."

After listening to Schoenberg's 'transfigured night', the spouse says "I get it. He was on LSD"
