Today in London: Saturday 7 Sept 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 2 September 2013
Besides the free Verdi / Wagner-inspired daytime events, namely an interactive installation based on Verdi’s ‘Va pensiero’, an alternative take on Wagner’s ‘Ring Cycle’, family singing classes, and musical interventions by jazzist Julian Joseph (those are tomorrow), all apparently selected by Stephen Fry for a Deloitte-sponsored bash at the Royal Opera House today, what else is happening in the capital this fine weekend?
Well, for fans of Saturday fun times…
