    Dvorak “Rusalka”, Royal Opera House

    By Edward / 28/02/2012

    A Conversation With STING: Symphonicities

    By shane / 02/02/2012

    The location is Sting‘s beachside house in Malibu the morning after the night before: another night, another venue – the Hollywood Bowl – another three-hour concert of his songs. That’s concert with a capital “C” because this…
