Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound.

If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

) played a couple of Mozart tracks from a new CD of her, with Antonello Manacorda, the same conductor as ROH broadcast: top quality performances.

After the curtain, during final credits, Georgia was making enthusiastic noises about Oropesa's psychological understanding and charactersation of Violetta... and some remark about her being the best Violetta arouund (I paraphrase wildly).Comment
