An honour to talk to members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Opera today at the House of Lords about my historical research on opera and politics in the UK over the last century. 1/
Puccini’s Tosca was premiered on this day, January 14, 1900 in Rome. @OperaRoma . One of the most beloved operas that I have had the enormous pleasure of performing as Mario Cavaradossi for over 200 times. @MetOpera
Tonight in Parliament, I've secured a debate on funding for @E_N_O and support for the performing arts. ACE's recent funding decisions are short-sighted and will have a considerable impact on both London and the UK's wider culture sector, putting at risk hundreds of jobs.

We're now onto day 3 of headlines about a conversation at a drinks party involving an old woman none of us had ever heard of before. My timeline is stuffed with your thoughts on it. Is this really the biggest issue of a week when the country is just falling apart under our noses?

It’s decision time. The @DCMS must now instruct @ace_national to revisit its bungled response to the fine aim of increasing funding out of London, involving the unnecessary destruction of a national company @E_N_O and damage to opera nationwide. Create a strategy not a shambles.
75 yrs ago today my dad took me to my v 1st #opera#Rigoletto. 1500 opera perfs on, I still love it - see current @RoyalOperaHouse mag. My latest Rigoletto starred incomparable @Lisette_Oropesa.
"At times, it acquires the qualities of an Agatha Christie spy novel. But [it] also raises fundamental philosophical issues." Many thanks to @DanielSnowman3 for this generous review in @JewishChron!

What a privilege to chair this wonderful session today, with speakers David Bates, David Manning, @DanielSnowman3 and @amalexathorn. Thoughtful, powerful and often moving reflections on the IHR's role in a century of #historymaking. #OurCentury
Great to read about the role of ROH Friends as fundraisers and supporters of the work on stage inc schools matinees & scholarships. Picture by Henry Moore (member of the Council of Friends) donated this image for the annual fundraising Christmas card. Thanks @DanielSnowman3
