Summer opera

Mary and I attended Opera East's extravaganza at Childerley Hall near Cambridge on Saturday evening. We indulged in Mozart, Verdi, Britten and Tchaikovsky, while eating strawberries and cream. I can't pretend to have a great knowledge of opera, or even a particular love of it, but I am bound to say that I thought Ji-Min Park, the South Korean tenor, and South African baritone Dawid Kimberg were quite magnificent, and even a layman could understand why so many people are saying they have spectacular careers ahead of them.
