Now Gillian’s created a collection exclusively for the world premiere of Hadrian.  

Order by October 1, 2018 to wear on opening night of Hadrian (October 13, 2018).

    In the past, the maxim was “those who can’t, teach.” Updated to 2018: “those who can’t even write a decent pop song compose operas.”

    This individual has nothing to do with serious music but works in the entertainment industry. And his trade is the usual kitsch for the masses:

    There are enough composers in America who could write something for the more serious stage, it is puzzling why such a type is chosen to write an opera, and – of all subjects – about Roman emperor Hadrian. It is like asking a toddler to build a house all on his own.

    • Cyril Blair says:

      Yes but are you going to order the necklace to wear to the opening night, or not?

    • Saxon Broken says:

      JB writes: “This individual has nothing to do with serious music but works in the entertainment industry.”

      I am sorry but ALL musicians work in the entertainment industry, even so called “serious musicians”. (And note that all musicians, if they are any good, take their music seriously).
