    Does that include red shoes?

      Red shoes may be worn by anyone sitting in the nave. Those at the sharp end know the rules.

      An exemption may be made for serving popes.

      But they’d match his red dress so nicely…..

    Popes may wear red shoes at the sharp end. Wannabe popes can’t.

    It is really that simple.

    Kelvin is not wearing a kilt.

    Kilts, however, may be worn.

    I’m sure I heard a rendition in Elvish. Perhaps it was Klingon, but it was very loud.

    I did not attempt the Doric.

      Elves, Klingons, Doric speakers.

      All are welcome in this place.

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…
