Classical REVIEW: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs @ ENO

Opera Review: la Bohème @ Theatre Royal Brighton
This is an utterly charming performance, with some of Kents signature touches, a stage filling bit of spectacle, live orchestra, La Boehme is a romantically sad story, ending in tragedy but with some delightful set pieces celebrating love hope and beauty
