Live Opera at Rail Station

Here's an idea that truly makes sense. I really bemoan the disinterest shown by today's youth in Classical Music. It wasn't so long ago that a person could not claim to be truly educated if he or she did not have some appreciation and knowledge of the Classical repretoire. Currently symphonies, opera companies and other badges of civilization are dying for lack of interest and funding. Tant Pis as the French would say. Well leave it to Mother Beeb to come up with the notion of playing opera in the tube stations. A wonderful idea of introducing the classics to all. Now if we could just get everyone to put away their iPods for a while. Guardian Unlimited %7C Arts news %7C BBC on track for live opera at rail station
