Extract

In September 1944, Mr. Leslie A. Boosey contributed an article to this journal on the subject of the Covent Garden Royal Opera House, announcing the acquisition of the lease of the building by Boosey & Hawkes, Ltd., and indicating that a scheme was to be explored whereby the theatre might resume its original function as the home of British operatic activities on the grand scale. Although warning was given at the time that early developments should not be expected, more than one rather impatient letter has reached us, and comment has been heard here and there, indicating, shall we say, a polite disbelief in the possibility of any such scheme coming to fruition.
