The opera club for MPs

With thanks to cher Mike of Opera Holland Park, who commented on the post below, I have unearthed a bunch of MPs who do care about opera, the All-Party Parliamentary Opera Group.

do MPs go to the opera?

Commenters on an earlier post speculate whether Our Nation's Leaders lack an interest in the arts.

Certainly, compared with Festspiele-groupie Angela Merkel, their collective operatic profile is non-existent. But then few of them swan around in paparazzi-friendly lilac taffeta. Could they be sneaking in under the radar with all the other middle-aged, middle-class denizens of the posh seats?

I decided to undertake a little online investigation.
