Title: "Modern Opera Is Rubbish" - Michael Attenborough Post by: Neil McGowan on August 03, 2012, 11:49:09 am Michael Attenborough - the talentless son of "Lord" Attenborough - has taken the sole decision to scrap the Almeida Opera Festival.
Quote “Modern opera studiously avoids anything so old-fashioned as melody or emotion, which seems to me a contradiction of what music is all about.” said Attenborough. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/9444641/Theatre-director-Michael-Attenborough-is-no-fan-of-modern-opera.html) I searched on the internet to find out what Michael Attenborough has ever achieved in the sphere of the arts... sadly 'accident of birth' was the only thing I could find.

It lies in the attitude of modern youth in general, who are inadequately and improperly educated. |
