The iconic opera publisher lacks the cachet it acquired in the Verdi-Puccini era, but it’s a still a force to be reckoned with. For the past 18 years it has been part of the Universal Music Group empire.

Venables’ next opera We Are The Lucky Ones is due to premiere on March 14 at Dutch National Opera.
