Well, lucky old Paris, they won’t have to suffer The Music of The Night et al and if they want to hear real Puccini they can visit the Opera at the Bastille.
Yes, I love Fanciulla (7 very expensive notes, repeated, from Lord LW’s inspiration).
The Phantom strikes…Shame, it’s a great piece and would have gone down very well in Paris.
Really? France has traditionally resisted the attractions of the blockbuster musical franchises.
