Today marks the 62nd birthday of Roger Waters - many happy returns, Roger! He was born in 1943 in Great Bookham, Surrey, where he lived until the age of two, when his family moved to Cambridge.

Roger is currently busying himself with the run-up to the release of his opera Ca Ira, and, as a reminder, tickets for the performance at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome, on November 17th, went on sale yesterday morning.

Ticket prices range from €120, for stalls seats, down to €40, for gallery seats. The show itself starts at 9pm. Tickets can be ordered via the Auditorium.com website, by telephone (most operators speak English as well as Italian), along with other normal ticket agents for the venue.
