The venue is St Mark's artSpace (Fringe venue 125), 7 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2DP. (Map: https://ed.thestage.co.uk/venues/st-marks-artspace )

Bellini-Fumagalli: Casta Diva (Norma)

In the long run, any words about music are less important than the music. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not worth talking to (Shostakovich)
