Trivia!

Last week's question was:- This opera, though composed in the 20th century, is set in the 18th century and based on a series of Hogarth prints.

A Traveller in Time correctly guessed The Rake's Progress, and so it was. I just finished working on this truly delightful piece at Wolf Trap Opera, and from the sets to the singers it was a delight.  You can find a review of the production here.
