“…a truly great modern opera” - Jane Eyre #WorldOperaDay
@SOMMRecordings
Sad to learn of the death of John Joubert (@joubertcomposer) at the age of 91. He was one of the most rewarding (re-)discoveries of the last decade, his Jane Eyre a truly great modern opera. Here's my review of it on @SOMMRecordings for @ClassicalEar: classicalear.co.uk/posts/YmY…
