Would have been staunch Stricklandjani, I imagine.

Probably some amateur architects who fancy themselves as designers. Isn’t that what the FAA attract? Faux architects, and people who profess to be an authority in anything under the sun?

You can ask till you are blue in the face, Antoine. They are too miserly to pay a EUR150 court fee. Do you think they have the money to commission any “British theatre expert” worth his salt?

This is the FAA you’re talking about, my friend.

The production was sponsored by BP. Today we were informed by Chris Gatt that 50% of the ticket revenue from entrance to the Argotti screening went as rights to the organising body. It’s true that the production was exceptional in many ways, including of course the leading artists, among whom was Joseph Calleja. However, all this clearly shows the very high cost of producing operas.
