    Kruno@89: Thanks for the unexpected pleasure of seeing Entschiede & Gronigen mentioned here.

    The Netherlands Touring Opera (the ‘second’ opera company in the Netherlands) visits those places with their production of La voix humaine (with Maria Ewing as the soloist in that, and L’heure espagnol as the other production).
