@shadowopera's Veritable Michael is about to start, and quite the setting in King's College Chapel. A space worthy of Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper, no less...

The opera is inspired by Prof Marion Thain's research of the intriguing story of the two women who lived, loved and wrote as Michael Field.
