Opera & Ballet: The Odd Couple
I have a piece in today's Independent about how opera and ballet are engaging in a burgeoning rapprochement...starting with the Covent Garden loos. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/classical/features/ballet-and-opera--the-odd-couple-1823711.html.
More Friday treats on the way here on JDCMB, later today.
