The People’s Opera

By Simon Parris on February 15, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Volksoper provides opera for the people. And operetta. And musicals. And ballet. How wonderful for the people of Vienna to have such a charming, prolific and affordable opera house in their midst. […]

Ah, Vienna

By Simon Parris on February 12, 2012 • ( 4 Comments )

A bit of a holy grail of opera houses, the history surrounding Vienna Opera House is like a subtext that permeates the operatic artistry on display. The thought of being in a […]

By Simon Parris on February 9, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Not Just For Kids

By Simon Parris on February 1, 2012 • ( 4 Comments )

Some of the biggest recent musicals on the West End are very family friendly, but fortunately they are loaded with in jokes, sly references as well as plenty of nostalgia to provide […]

Terrific Tragedies

By Simon Parris on January 31, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Two favourite operas in two magnificent productions.
