“This is a much needed podcast. Not everyone lives with a maestro how wonderful. I have been to the open air opera in Verona as a student. Now aged 55 I have the ‘opera bug’ so treated my husband to Madame Butterfly in Edinburgh last week having been inspired by the podcast. I loved it but sadly he fell asleep!!!! How is that possible at the opera…it’s not a quiet environment! He is emergency services worker so was very tired! I guess opera isn’t for everyone- he’s a hip hop fan and to be honest that is very powerful and emotive too in it’s own way. What does Steven think about the hip hop genre?
Joanna, I have just been delivered your book on Bhutan as a Valentine’s gift so I think we can forgive him regarding his opera snooze.
Thank you for this wonderful podcast. Every
project you undertake is magical Joanna. It’s lovely to know you share your life with this special man.
Warmest best wishes from Edinburgh.”
