Saw a post by Guus Mostart on LinkedIn bemoaning historic underfunding by @ace_national . He joined management @E_N_O 30 years ago. 185 performances, 10 revivals & 8 new prods during his first season there. Now? What a tragic mess @Ace have made of such a valiant company😡

Fury.
@E_N_O could be described as our most important National Arts company: Mother ship to artists in ALL disciplines..central to arts international outreach & our creative identity. Wilful stupidity @ace_national @ace__london @10DowningStreet @GOVUK knows no limits...

@E_N_O chorus the best there is…

A very happy birthday to much-beloved Martha Argerich - a living musical icon! Her volcanic temperament, allied with her delicacy, her ageless strength and brilliance, her unique charisma - no wonder she's adored. And a deeply warm, loyal person, too...a phenomenon.

This is @jen_wilson77 Wardrobe show manager @E_N_O .A cover went on yesterday & while the show was going on Jen was quickly moving buttons & adding tabs to costumes to aid the singer’s performance. Part of her job, you might say, but her skill would be missed if she weren’t there

Energy prices by country. Tell me why people in the U.K. pay way more for their energy bills?

#LoveENO the whole company - singers, players, backstage, technical, craftspeople and every one that it takes to make the magic taking a bow 😘😘

[Adam Sullivan 💙 @adamlsullivan]

Astonishing reaction from the 1700 strong crowd @E_N_O relaxed performance of #itsawonderfullife my Children 3 and 1 included. Absolutely riveted. #LoveENO #CHOOSEOPERA I was in full teary flow waving at my kids from the stage hoping and praying that it will not be the last time.

Thank you to everyone on Twitter who has sent messages regarding my retirement from @E_N_O. @roseandfriends started an incredible ball rolling on Saturday and I have been overwhelmed by the response.
Thank you all.
