From Matthew's family: We are devastated that our son, husband and brother has been taken from us so suddenly, but are relieved he didn't have to suffer for long.
We will miss him more than words can say but are taking comfort from reading how much he meant to do many.

@mudlarklives @Oper_Leipzig One of my favourites @theaterkoblenz when @TexanSongBird sang the leading role...

@BehemothMusic @larkingrumple @RevRichardColes Somewhere I've probably got a tape of his Poulenc memories for the centenary...

@larkingrumple @RevRichardColes I'm sure Felix used to claim it was in his garden...

@BrendanEWK @mudlarklives always wanted to go to New Zealand! 😁

Charles Windsor wants a more "inclusive" #coronation. I think he's missing the point. Monarchy's inherently *exclusive*, making us bow down to someone because of who his ancestors were. An inclusive monarchy is no more possible than hot ice cream or vegetarian lions. #NotMyKing

@deeplyclassical I was at this one...

@PlusTovell I'm just enjoying the music of the sea...

Ah, well, with David (pictured) playing most of the time, looks like I'll have to be a bridge widow for the next week... #Funchal

@TwitOpOldFarts @wagners_ring I'm rather enjoying these off-the-wall retellings (cf also Schwarz in Bayreuth) if they follow their own logic and still throw insight at the original...

[Matthew Rye 🇪🇺 @Matthew_C_Rye]

@TwitOpOldFarts @wagners_ring Oh, ye literalists! You'll be wishing (spit!) Schenk on us all next... 😁

Who’s worse? Sunak overturning democratic decisions in Scotland, Starmer agreeing with them for political capital or just your average basic bitch transphobe in the workplace (even in theatre companies I gather) or in the street. I have rarely felt so angry politically. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

@acorbettn @NetworkRailEUS It's enough to make us travel further at the home end just for the relative convenience of a regular @TLRailUK service to and from London.
