In this insightful interview, Norman Lebrecht sits down with Wasfi Kani, the visionary opera director and founder of Grange Park Opera. Kani, known for her innovative approach to opera and her commitment to making the art form accessible, shares her journey from tech entrepreneur to leading figure in the world of classical music. The conversation delves into her unique initiatives, including her work with the Pimlico Opera, which takes opera into prisons, and her mission to democratize opera for wider audiences.
