“Opera must flourish for future generations.” Lindy Hume
“A great opera experience — intimate or grand, traditional or unconventional — can have a powerful effect…….. But my gut (and the global decline in opera subscriptions) tells me that when opera tries to sex itself up and compete with mega-spectacles, it loses its power to connect with audiences.”
A ‘must-read’ from Lindy Hume, past director of the Sydney Festival and presently artistic director of Opera Queensland on keeping the art form popular without losing integrity.
