'The idea that these things are middle-class or posh is a national tragedy!' James O'Brien is furious at those who make enjoying the arts 'elitist' in this passionate rant about the 'magic of art and culture'. James O'Brien

'It was everything and more that I could ever wish for!' This extremely endearing caller, who says her dreams came true when she first went to the Opera, brings a beaming smile to James O'Brien's face. James O'Brien

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at English National Opera as they call on Arts Council England to reinstate them as a National Portfolio Organisation and restore their funding. Please help ENO by signing the petition: chng.it/g8wyqDdb #ChooseOpera #LoveENO

This person is Head of Music at the Arts Council. She has decided that large-scale opera in London should be cut because there is no “growth in demand.” Even if “growth” had anything to do with any art form, this is wildly disproportionate Claire Mera-Nelson Arts Council England English National Opera

Just a thought, but how about funding world class opera productions in opera houses with the best singers/musicians/creative in one of the greatest cities in the world with wide range of ticket prices and telling everyone about it so they can’t wait to see it? #opera
