Fitting in
Article Abstract:
After a year's gap the London Opera Festival, previously the London International Festival of Opera, returns in 1992 with a professional programme focused on small companies. Elaine Padmore, artistic consultant, is an experienced performer as well as a director of the Wexford Festival, famed for casting unknowns who become successful. She also directs for DGOS Opera Ireland and is consultant for the Earls Court operas. Intimate opera is unconventional but available to new audiences. The small space creates an intense experience.

Article Abstract:
There were considerable challenges associated with selecting the 499 operas that appear in 'The New Kobbe's Opera Book,' the most recent edition of the opera guide that was first published by Gustave Kobbe in the US in 1919. The operas selected by Kobbe himself were largely determined by the repertoire of New York's Metropolitan Opera, and strong emphasis was placed on Italian opera. For the most recent edition, the editors did not seek completeness, and attention was given to personal experience of performance.
