An insider tells us that the WNO orchestra will open next season without:
A Leader
Principal second violin ( long-term maternity leave)
ANY double-basses
Principal flute
Second clarinet
Second trumpet
Second trombone
Timpanist
There are just two violists left.
That’s not an opera orchestra, it’s a bandstand.
Will no-one fight to save it?
