REVIEW "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Scintillating" for THE MERRY WIDOW from @scottishopera.bsky.social at the Festival Theatre www.alledinburghtheatre.com/the-merry-wi... "a scintillating new adaptation" says @rcmahar.bsky.social Rebecca "bringing its setting into the 20th century, & its sensibilities into the 21st."

It’s back to The Pirates of Penzance this week! A few days brush up rehearsal and then first show on Friday. Coming?
Here's a snap from the current production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance at English National Opera. The Pirate King (John Savournin) and Ruth (Gaynor Keeble) are discussing a paradox with Frederick (William Morgan)
