I'm off to Basingstoke on Tuesday for the UK premiere of Edward Rushton's Babur in London being given by the Opera Group. The cast includes Damian Thantrey who was Garrett in my first opera and the piece is directed by John Fulljames with the ensemble für neue musik zürich.
As a lover of all things G&S of course, Basingstoke is forever associated with Mad Margaret but we look forward to rather different fare on Tuesday!
