      It’s surely not just fussy critics who get fed up with the same 20-odd operas being endlessly recycled. Opera houses lapse into that lazy form of programming, of course, because they regard Carmen, Bohème, Figaro, Traviata and the others in that magi

      To get an idea of the astonishing longevity of Stravinsky’s career, it’s worth setting it within the context of global events. When the Russian composer hit the Parisian headlines with the premiere of his ballet The Firebird in June 1910, Robert Scot

      The majority of the poems in this collection appeared in Dickens other works - the Pickwick Papers, and several plays written with Wilkie Collins (!). I enjoyed the straight-forward verses best. NOTE: If you get the Kindle edition, you need to trick the Kindle into showing the end of several of the longer poems by highlighting the start of a verse low on the page and then using the "View Notes" to force the highlighted section to the top of the page.

    THE VILLAGE COQUETTES

    About the year 1834, when the earliest of the Sketches by Boz were appearing in print, a young composer named John Hullah set to music a portion of an opera called The Gondolier, which he thought might prove successful on the stage. Twelve months later Hullah became acquainted with Charles Dickens, whose name was then unknown to those outside his own immediate circle, and it occurred to him that he and ‘Boz’ might combine their forces by
