[…] of 1965. The pre-recorded workshop will premiere on Kentucky Opera’s YouTube channel and remain available for on-demand viewing. About This Little Light of Mine This Little Light of Mine is a one-act opera that dramatizes the story of Fannie Lou Hamer, a former sharecropper who rose to national prominence at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.

Sir Henry Wood believed that audieces could rise to the challenge of good music. Now it seems that music is no more than an excuse to sell tickets to audiences who want "the music experience" as opposed to music itself. Proms-by-Algorithm isn't music. The BBC's own research has shown that the obsession with attracting "new" audiences doesn't develop the market. Indeed, it drives away the core audience. On the plus side that means those of […]
