Sir, Jose Cura at the National Concert Hall (May 2nd) will remain in my memory as one of the greatest concert performances ever seen in this country.

It was astonishing to see so many true and knowledgeable operatic patrons being moved by the sheer magnetism but most of all the wonderful voice of Cura.
