Gilding The Stage, A Brief History Of The Modern Opera House

The Arts Society Leicester present Gilding The Stage, A Brief History Of The Modern Opera House

Speaker - Raymond Holden

The modern opera house is often the beating cultural heart of many cities around the world. It is both a centre of musical excellence and a barometer for cultural change. Throughout its long history, the opera house has not simply been a place of lyrical excellence, but a venue where the great and good have come to meet and where music lovers have come to be uplifted, educated and enthralled in theatres that were as awe inspiring as they were daunting.
