OperaThe Icelandic minister for culture and business has set aside $5.8 million for the formation of a national opera, as a division of the national theatre, starting next year. Early performances will be given in the Harpa concert hall (pic).
The new company will employ 12 solo singers and 16 part-timers in the chorus.
England, meanwhile (don’t even go there).
