“Ultimately as a society we have to decide if we want #Opera, & if we want it we have to find a way to pay for it.”

@MichaelBerkele2 makes a clear case for how @ace_national’s model doesn’t work any more. Our national companies should be protected by government. #SaveWNO

Opera is one of the great national creative assets. So much in Britain is broken. Opera is nearly broken but must be repaired. @TheRoyalOpera @glyndebourne My speech @UKHouseofLords 10/12/24

Just found out that @nationalrailenq are banning large instruments on trains in the next few months. How on earth can this go ahead and threaten income for double bassists, harpist and contra-bassoonists without cars? @WeAreTheMU

"This is the first full strike of the Musicians' Union in 44 years."

@ClassicAdvertz @1980sRewind I wanted this game soo much and when I got it for Christmas I loved it! However finding it at my parents as an adult and playing it again I realised how easily entertained I must have been as a child…. 😂

Do the right thing ⁦@RoyalOperaHouse⁩ and restore the musician’s pay. #fairpay

@SkyHelpTeam 7 days into an 18months contract and your internet is down… please give me a reason not to go back to Virgin before I send my old router back!

@jollybeggars @whitleybayhigh Massive change from when I left in 1995…

[Richard DH @RDH_tweets]

It's a common misconception that, post-Festival, Glyndebourne is closed.
In fact we have a second season. Opera (from £10), concerts, tours, masterclasses and more.
Informal variety to suit all budgets. Kicks off with family days next weekend.
