Online operatics

Jan 04, 2010

I went to the opera between Christmas and New Year. Rather than read the synopsis in the Royal Opera House programme before curtain-up, a fellow enthusiast viewed what was ahead by using an iPhone, instead. If Betfair warranted a book subtitled, "how two men changed the world of gambling", can we expect something explaining how the internet is poised to revolutionise Puccini? Incidentally, real excitement in this particular performance of La Boheme at the prospect of "firewood, cigars and bordeaux". Would settle for the same, myself, this year.
