The Barbican has started selling tickets for the 2009-10 season. Top of the shopping list will be Cecilia Bartoli on 24 November 2009 and Juan Diego Flórez on 7 May 2010.
It sounds beyond bonkers to buy tickets for something nearly a year and a half away, but past experience suggests if you don't move soon on these two, you'll end up just another statistic in the returns queue.
Plenty of other stuff to look forward to without panic buying as well, including the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Vienna Phil, and the UK premiere of Hans Werner Henze's Phaedra from the Ensemble Modern.
