No Spanish Ham
Not the fat one, nor the tiny one, of The Three Tenor, lotharian Domingo is no Spanish ham

This week sees Placido Domingo start a run at Covent Garden's Royal Opera House.

He's the opera world's answer to Tom Jones and at 62 shows no sign of stepping down from the stage.

If you didn't get tickets to Röyksopp, cheer up with Edinburgh Fringe hit Men in Coats (think South Park Kenny parkas). 6:15pm. Theatre Sq, South Bank, SE1. Free.
Preview of the second of Beaconsfield's six-part Engineer Project, this by trompe-l'oeil artist Susan Collis. 6-9pm. 22 Newport St, SE11. Free.

Once included in the Top 10 Sexiest Men Alive poll, the Spanish tenor has melted the hearts of women around the world with his rich, distinctive voice and swarthy Latin looks.

His role this week as the tragic clown, Canio, in Pagliacci might not mean much to you, but if you're interested in seeing and hearing what opera's all about, then you could do far worse than getting down to the Piazza in Covent Garden or Victoria Park next Wednesday July 16 when a performance will be broadcast on giant screens.

So cross your fingers for some balmy weather, grab a bottle of wine, a blanket and a good friend and head out for an evening of culture! Provided you like loud singing, that is.

Pagliacci at the Royal Opera 8pm July 10-20. £5-160 - 020 7304 4000
Free open air event 8pm July 16 Covent Garden, WC2 & Victoria Park, E2
