Opera Śconomica's forthcoming production of 'The Hitchhiking Dutchman is eagerly awaited.

Opera Śconomica's reduced version of Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Milton Keynes is opening next month.

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

An Armenian in Paris

A stroke of genius from our head of planning has meant a last minute substitution of this work with A Parisian in Paris

Harrison's Wrist-Watch............Birtwistle

Similarly here, we are delighted to be able to offer Birtwistle's Harrison's Egg-timer (hard-boiled-sand-powered and soft-boiled-water-powered versions)

Our Stockhausen season continues with several items from the opera cycle Licht aus!, a trip back to early 1974 with Aus der Drei-Tage-Woche, and the premiere of Cosmetic Policies.

Respect! to Opera Śconomica for their simultaneous conflation of two plays and a reduced opera in A Hamlet Romeo and Juliet.

Tchaikovsky: Duck Pond Swan Lake

mystery solved, thanks hh.  I haven't visited that thread for a while.  Is there any mention of Tchaikovsky's other ballet - the one with the subtitle "if you haven't got one, a sledgehammer will do"?
