The Opera House is large enough

Eric Parnis rightly points out that "just about every opera one can think of was performed at the Royal Opera House" (The Opera House Saga, December 30).

The Prime Minister is wrongly advised that the footprint of the Opera House is too small for present day productions.

It is not, as can be seen from this photograph. If my eyesight serves me right there are 33 performers standing in one line across the stage, making it more than wide enough for any present day performance be it opera or otherwise.

At St James Cavalier the performers would just about take up the entire theatre and at the Manoel they would have to stand at least two deep.

Perhaps the government should be a bit more careful and look further afield in its search for "advisers".
