The newest recruit to the Overture Protection Club (see here) is Valerio Tura, former artistic director of La Monnaie in Brussels, a man who knows what’s what in an opera house.

We now have a quorum at OPC headquarters and are starting to roll. Maestros and producers who abuse the humble overture had better watch out.

This could be as big as the Early Music Revolution – before it went the way of all revolutions and settled for a desk job-with-dacha, a dictatorship of the professariat.
