I've got a double page spread in The Independent today, a quick look back at 60 years of the Royal Opera. Odd to think that the organisation is exactly the same age as David Bowie.
Also, in case anyone still fancies a look at my first novel, Rites of Spring, Amazon.co.uk is currently offering it at a 32 per cent discount. :-)
The next one, Alicia's Gift, will be out in hardback on 8 March...

Forgive me for being pedantic, but Sir Georg was at Covent Garden until the end of the 1970-71 season, which ended with a fabulous "Tristan". He was a truly outstanding director - I think you are too kind to his successors who were, especially in the case of Haitink, too weak and only interested in their own performances. They were partly responsible for allowing certain singers' fees to get out of hand. Anita Välkki, Nilsson and Ludmila Dvorakova sang Brunnhilde, not Gwynneth Jones: her role was Sieglinde.
