Germany has a wealth of small provincial opera houses. Conductor Martin Handley looks at a typical season with music ranging from Italian Bel Canto, German Verismo, and The Rake's Progress to
Berlin operetta by Leo Fall , My Fair Lady, and Hamlet as a ballet, to see how this satisfies audience needs.
