Opera magazine, parish newssheet of hard-core devotees, has gone on-line at iTunes.
From this month, you can download the entire issue and a partial archive for $1.99 (£1.19 UK) a week, the equivalent of a couple of chart singles.
Try it here.
Can’t quite see how it will fit into my usage, but if I were an air-miles collector it might make a refreshing change from last week’s Economist on the rack. This month’s Opera cover is Glyndebourne’s Rusalka.
