Boheme is snowed under

For the first time I can remember, an opera premiere in London has been cancelled by severe weather. The snow is six inches thick on the ground and Jonathan Miller's keenly awaited return to the Coliseum will have to be awaited until Wednesday, as English National Opera cannot guarantee getting its employees - let alone the audience - safely home to bed.

Such a shame. Three thousand people could have sung along to 'your tiny hand is frozen'.

Whatever happened to Spirit of the Blitz?
