| Description |
Clifford Hocking Enterprises P/L presents this programme. Anna Russell has been sending up musical pomposity for three decades - ever since she realised that she would never succeed as an opera singer - and what a terrible revenge she has extracted. To the London Times she is "the World's funniest woman", while Time Magazine has called her "the crown princess of musical parody". Knee deep in the sacred cows, she spoofs opera, musical history and the cultural elite. Nobody is safe - least of all G&S, Wagner, grand divas and prima donnas. |
