Why are we so ashamed of things that are really good? My bit on opera: “If you starve something, run it down constantly, gradually reduce the provision of it so that few can afford it, it becomes “elitist”: a self-fulfilling prophecy…” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

SPO friends The Opera Makers Makers are in the final throes of preparation for Ethel Smyth's 'Der Wald', taking place at the Holy Sepulcre Church EC1A2DQ next Friday. Another production with LOADS of SPO performers. Rush to get tickets as they're fast disappearing.

Fantastic evening at Smyth’s Der Wald presented by The Opera Makers with our own Christopher Wiley giving a talk on the composer before hand!

So fun to hear forgotten music by women championed - and on the eve of the anniversary of being the first composition by a woman at the Metropolitan Opera in 1902 (a trailblazer as the second was not ‘til 2016, the brilliant talk by academic Christopher Wiley told us). Bravo The Opera Makers!
