Ross Alley to discuss Verdi's La traviata this week
Ross Alley is beginning a new round of opera lectures at St. Michael and All Angels.
This 12-week series examines seven operas in performance in London (or relayed to cinemas from The Met in New York) in early 2017 plus a ballet (The Sleeping Beauty), a song cycle (Strauss’ Four Last Songs) and a special talk for Lent (The Operatic Prayer).
Lectures begin on Thursdays at 2.00 sharp and end at 4.15, at St Michael and All Angels Parish Hall. £10 per lecture.
Coffee or tea and biscuits included.
