Laura has just completed a History of Art degree and has spent the last year obsessing over Mannerists and Surrealists. She is interested in a wide variety of arts but particularly enjoys writing about classical music and opera.

Recent thrills have been ENO's Agrippina, Hogarth at Tate Britain and discovering Thomas Adès' Asyla (rather belatedly). Current distractions include the latest album from Explosions in the Sky and Spinosi's recording of Orlando Furioso.
