On which subject, I don't know whether Michael Volpe's little film about taking Chelsea FC fans to La Traviata at ROH has been posted in this forum before, but it seems pertinent to mention it here.

I attended a performance of Guys & Dolls in HMP Brixton sometime in the 1990s. It featured professional singers and inmates, and was very enjoyable (though the searches on entry were less so).Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostIt seems I'm the only contributor to this thread with any direct experience in this area (#6).
