The Fool and The Opera presents opera for beginners, by beginners.

The program is in 4 acts, with no intermission and pokes and prods at opera until all the delicious and delectable treats and goodies come pouring out. Set to launch on December 7 at 6pm.

You can also read the daily blog which is your diary to Australian opera. It's incredibly useful, especially if you want a diary that has a bad sense of humour.

Audio producer: Jed Gilbert
