Agreed! When I was in Bath earlier this summer, James and I stopped by the Abbey curious to see inside and possibly join Matins, which was about to start.

But the stewards were lovely, happily directing us to a pew at the rear and saying we were welcome for how ever much of the service we could attend. Despite the fact that it was the 19-something-maybe-actually-16-something-scarily-old-fashioned-and-exclusive liturgy that sent me mentally reeling back to the 1982 Scottish Blue Book in panic, the welcome to tourists was most well, welcome!

There are things to praise about Ashley Page’s directorial debut for Scottish Opera: his ballet background clearly has given him an intense sense of theatrical spectacle that was…
