The Midsummer Marriage
The audience for last night's performance of The Midsummer Marriage at the Royal Opera House was not quite as good as might have been expected; it was respectable but certainly not full. The other curiosity was the rather mixed nature of audience, presumably these are what Tippett enthusiasts look like. We had the guilty thought that quite a few looked as it they might have been at the work's premiere in 1955.A review of the performance will appear in due time, I'll keep you posted.
