本日の将棋棋戦
本日は対局が割と多くありました。
王将戦，飯島栄治七段vs渡辺和史四段の対局，
飯島七段が優勢に進めていたのですが，100手の２六歩が悪手で，
そこを境に，一気に形勢が悪くなってしまったようです。
これで，確変中の飯島七段の連勝は６でストップ，
逆に渡辺四段は３連勝となりました。
NHK朝ドラ『エール』第34話
志村けんさん，予想よりも多くの時間写っていて，嬉しいです。
『椿姫』のヴィオレッタ役って，第1幕から第3幕まで，いろいろな状況で，
歌を歌わなくてはならないので(高音張り上げからしっとりまで)，
かなり大変なんですよね。現代だと誰が一番のヴィオレッタの歌い手かなあ。
少し前だと，アンナ・ネトレプコだったろうけど，今はどうなのだろうか？
代役で出演して，その後，当たり役になる場合もあるから，
エンタメはなかなかおもしろいですよね。
METのディアナ・ダムラウさんは残念ながら，私の好みではありません。
