People outside the Senedd were treated to a powerful and moving example of the worth of Welsh National Opera by their incredible singers and musicians. The arts and culture are not optional extras – they are necessary components of society and should be treated as such.

Cafodd pobl tu allan i'r Senedd weld a chlywed enghraifft rymus a theimladwy o werth Welsh National Opera gan eu cerddorion anhygoel. Dydy'r celfyddydau a diwylliant ddim yn rhywbeth dewisol - maen nhw'n elfennau angenrheidiol o gymdeithas a dylid eu trin felly.

This is so incredibly powerful. This company must be saved. #savewno

It was an honour to know & work with Anna and we’re all beyond devastated. She was always happy, kind & completely committed to the choirs. She was a member of Only Kids Aloud & then Only Girls Aloud. Sending love & thoughts to her family and friends and everyone who knew her.

Today, we launch our Save The Aloud Charity campaign. Only Boys Aloud face an uncertain future and, for the first time, we are asking for donations. 👉 Spread the word and donate now: t.ly/7Bpuf Together we can keep boys in Wales singing. #SaveOnlyBoysAloud

The charity behind a Welsh choir that reached the Britain's Got Talent finals has launched a public appeal for financial support to keep it afloat wp.me/p8Mk4U-Jnl

A strong response from Equity to the situation Welsh National Opera has been placed in by Arts Council England (& Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru | Arts Council of Wales). Blackmail is completely unacceptable, as is having to pretend to be “pleased” to have been blackmailed. Politicians need to act now to #SaveWNO. Lesley Griffiths
