A night at the Opera: the Magic Flute
Lights up at the Opera house. The last time I was at the opera was over ten years ago when a friend invited me to Glyndebourne and it was amazing. I studied a bit of opera at uni and had a very passionate teacher Malcom Griffiths who really brought it alive for all his students. […]
