Autumn 2008 (date to be announced)
Wine, Women & Song
Autumn Soirée
with Arblaster & Clarke Wine ToursAbout the concert programme
Note: Neither the choice of title for the evening, nor the information below, should be taken to imply that the evening's programme will necessarily include that particular work by Johann Strauss II — in any version. Concert programme information is not yet available (6 March 2008)
Nevertheless, I hope we have whetted your appetite for more news about the opera music planned for this event.
Watch this space in the coming months, for information about the concert programme, which will appear here just as soon as it becomes available!

About Wine, Women and Song
The phrase is the English translation of the title of a waltz, originally choral song, by Johann Strausss II (opus 333, see below), based on a proverb “Wer nicht liebt Wein, Weib, und Gesang bleibt ein Narr sein Leben lang” (“Who does not love wine, wife, and song will be a fool his whole life long”).
The image is from a print published by Kimmel and Voigt in New York, 1873, long out of copyright, and obtained from the Library of Congress.
