I don't know why they will not stage Rake's progress more. I enjoyed the clip very much. It is difficult to understand why some operas are neglected as much.
Here we have yet another La Bohem in Cork.

I fear it all arises from poorly-qualified managements of theatres, who don't know how to attract a decent audience to more varied works.  If you actually ask the public they'll say "oh no, not La Boheme again!"...   but still it comes back over and over again.   Which itself is a pity, because it is a fine work in itself, and we're only over-sated with it.

What I find most worrying of all is how few new works are commissioned and staged.
