I eventually persuaded them that, with the best will in the world, we couldn't rewrite Mozart's music to advertise their tea - but we would put posters in foyer, and offer the audience free cups of tea in the interval ;-)
Of course if it had been the Magic Flute or Abduction from the Seraglio there wouldn't have been a problem... |

Of course if it had been the Magic Flute No, I've got a better one than that, but you have to think about it a sec... THE MAGIC FLUTE, sponsored by Pearl & Dean Give up? 'Cos it goes: "Pa-, pa-, pa-,""Pa-, pa-, pa-,""Papa-papa-papa-pa""Papa-papa-papa-pa""Papa-papa-papa-papa"pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-pa-pa,pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-pa-pa,pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAH, pa-PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH....

Although it's not quite the right genre, I believe B&Q have also sponsored "Le Marteau Sans Maitre" Lortzing's opera about Peter The Great, "TSAR & CARPENTER" is another that cries out for their involvement. Not only his complete set of chippy's tools, but one of those aprons with the B&Q logo on it, too :-) |

Bearing in mind that the entire Ark is constructed during a performance, and that tools are specifically mentioned in the libretto, Noye's Fludde surely cries out for their sponsorship, too.
There could also be a very strong case for the involvement of petfoods manufacturer.....

Petfood manufacturers could sponsor Janacek's Cunning Little Vixen.

'Die Frau ohne Schatten' but you're never alone with a Strand. And if you don't do.... 'The Tsar Has His Photograph Taken' - by Zenit, naturally. ....soon, Reiner, I may have to |
