Although it's impossible to guarantee that every musical event will get published in the Sun (at least the return of the Live section has made more space available), there is a way that organizations can improve their chances of inclusion in online and in-print listings.
Instead of just emailing (or, for 19th-century types, snail-mailing) press releases, you should also input your info into the Sun's events and venues database. This will give people here what they need to create online lists and the material to choose from in compiling the lists published in Friday's Live section.
So just follow this link to the Web page and give us what you've got. It's pretty easy. One tip: When you get to the "Type of Event" line, click on the little arrow and you'll find a list of options on a drop-down menu. For classical music events (including opera), choose "Concert."
