    • I am generally interested in the history of musical theatre and opera, and especially in the development of musical theatre in London from the 1680s through to the 1730s - from the semi-opera to the emergence of ballad opera.
    • Composers of particular interest include John Eccles, Giovanni Battista Draghi, and other contemporaries of Henry Purcell.
