Why I love Opera: Having not sung Opera in years before coming to Warwick, I took a plunge and joined the society. Turns out it's still great and without doubt performing and discovering operas with Opera Warwick has been one of the highlights of my first year. Special Skills: Looking overly perplexed on stage
