Who the hell has ever heard of Unsuk Chin btw? Probably No. 43 on Caliban's take away menu ...

I'll give you three guesses!
This is as good an introduction to her work as any:

And here's some of her Alice opera:

She's also the composer of a Double Concerto (yes; a Double Chin Concerto!) and was "Totally Immersed" by the Beeb last year.

YUM! How was it?!

As for Ms Chin's work... maybe you should unsuk it and see!

(Sorry, it's late )

[mercia]

should I set a question ?


a V to connect

(King) Arkel, bluebeard and a father-in-law


shame there isn't a dedicated gastronomy thread, or perhaps several depending on cuisine
who knows who might contribute

Is the bluebeard connection anything to do with Bartok or even Offenbach?

sorry for delay, no neither of those ........ well it's the same story, but in this case another composer's treatment

I think the way into the question will be through King Arkel ............ where does he appear ?
