After Dinner Speakers: Raymond Gubbay, Lucinda Green, Courtney Pine
Raymond Gubbay has quite possibly done more than anyone else in the UK to bring "higher" art forms to the masses. His 1998 production of Madame Butterfly was seen by 80,000 people; the "Classical Spectacular" series of concerts at London's Albert Hall have played to packed houses twice annually for 14 years. Not that he thinks there's anything "higher" about what he does.
