So what am I still watching on-line?

- Against the Grain; ditto plus interviews
- Opera Vision; useful source of full length opera videos in less boring productions than the Met
What new discoveries have I made?
- Harmon in Space from the Kingston Symphony
- Wigmore Hall; full length recitals from, inter alia, Gerald Finley, Sarah Connolly and Christian Gerhaher
- … and coming up , a new series of filmed opera excerpts from Domoney Artists (Jennifer Taverner, Cait Wood, Giles Tomkins etc) featuring the singers in “unusual” settings. See photo above.
