"It would be a disaster if there wasn’t another full-scale full-time opera company in London. What does it say about our ambitions as a country and a city if we don’t feel we can support both?" thetimes.co.uk/article/85635a…

Unsurprisingly, this statement is more notable for what it doesn’t say than what it does. No clues as to where or how often performances in Manchester will take place, and, more ominously, no mention of whether the current chorus, orchestra or technical team will be involved… 🐘

As we’re all a little tired of endlessly repeating, there is no such thing as “ENO” without the people who actually create the performances. You’re moving a brand-name, not a company in any meaningful sense.

With thanks to Opera Holland Park, today’s artist is Samantha Price performing Michael Head’s The Little Road to Bethlehem with pianist Stuart Wild. Samantha Price youtu.be/KyCE9xL02Vg?si…

I cannot begin to imagine the feelings at ENO today… most incredible,wonderful company, unthinkable to have a British Opera scene without it. That the members were served redundancy notices MID-PERFORMANCE last night is cruel, wicked, thoughtless beyond belief. Thoughts with all

I am reading a lot about excellence in opera and it being elite etc. I have very recently discovered the absolute thrill and joy of opera. I can go to see one at English National Opera From as little as £10. I usually pay about £30 for front row balcony. It costs over £100 to see Abba holograms.

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told its staff today that it is axeing its junior department at the end of this term. Almost 200 children study there on saturdays. That will all stop in July. This is not rich kids playing expensive instruments. One of them texted...

... their teacher today upset that they would not have a violin to play come the summer holidays, as they are loaned one by the college. A lot of the students are on bursaries to help cover the cost of lessons. The RWCMD decision only hastens the death of music education in wales

Another death knell for music education in the UK. Without Junior conservatoires, where will our talented young people go to learn to play their instruments at an advanced enough level to be able to apply for undergrad? Where are all the talent pipelines?

Students (present and past) and their supporters protested the planned closure of their junior department at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a play-in this afternoon.

What a day and what a turnout Welsh Parliament. Thanks to those who came to support, & what a poignant event it was as we fight to #SaveWNO. Please, listen to us Welsh Government & GOV.UK. Do you want to lose this? Lesley Griffiths Eluned Morgan @lucyfrazermp Keir Starmer @ThangamMP
