SIR – Thank goodness someone (D Rhodes, Letters, October 12) has said a good word about opera. I was nine when I saw my first operas (my dad was a fan). I saw La Boheme in the afternoon and Faust at night, and have been hooked ever since. I am 80 now.
Bradford is unfortunate as it only had one opera a year, where we from Leeds had opera companies for a full week.
I remember I stood in the balcony every night for a week when we had the Italian Opera Company at the Grand.
Tune in to Classical FM – you might all change your minds.
