Last night I went to see the premiere of Harisson Birtwistle's new opera The Minotaur. While I initially did find my first opera in English rather amusing to listen to - the storyline was clearly going to be anything other than comic.
Sexual tension and outburst, anger, rejection and trechery all came together to deliver what was a highly emotive performance, with impressive bass-baritone John Tomlinson playing the lead role.
