A dancer recently held up a Palestinian flag after the performance of Verdi’s ‘Il trovatore’. That’s entirely in keeping with the art form’s history, writes @Lucyshhb.

Quests and opera have been connected since the art form first began, and it's very fun to see my essay on the topic in the Itch programme for Opera Holland Park 🧪

If anyone is looking to commission programme notes/essays please get in touch - I love doing this!!

This year's awards season has been wild, but it's been very cool to see women over 50 at the forefront of it all

Some thoughts ahead of this weekend's ceremony for The Culture @prospect_uk

Such a special story from @Lucyshhb on her grandfather’s bar mitzvah.
‘It was a declaration of continuity and a celebration of one of the lives we all share. By reclaiming his place within Jewish tradition, our grandfather helped us begin to claim ours.’

Sometimes it just takes meeting people like Darren and Nana from @InterTheatre to remind you there is so much kindness and good work going on in our weird ol city

I loved chatting with them and writing this for @NewJournal

‘The production does not push the comedic elements too far, though, and the entire ensemble, (including the ENO chorus who are in glorious form) create a warm and lively tone that carries the production.’
