@edmundharris Choral society? Collecting gramophone records of Beethoven symphonies? Home brewing beer? Grinding your own Ecuadorean Arabica? Growing your own yeast? All my hobbies, basically.

A fascinating blog post from François Matarasso. Has anyone come across good ways of protecting the rights of non-professional creators who collaborate in projects with professionals? There must be a spectrum of approaches from doing nothing to contracting https://t.co/hvCM4PbD8L

@mooremezzo @W11Opera Jazz legend Miles Davis said, “If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if it's good or bad.” Stay in the moment, then there are no wrong notes. Do your best, work as a team, and it can only be right.

@harder_kendra @mormolyke This makes me emotional 😭 I bought a new computer and now Sib 6 is not supported. Later Sibs seem so awful, I don’t know what to do now. I’m lost.

@KeriFuge Not sure if any ensembles have got back to you, so in the meantime, how about a one-woman, a cappella, participatory project where you go up to people and sing their OWN STORY back to them as an improvised 5 minute opera?

The most exciting coffee break I’ve ever had in my life 🤣 @garsingtonopera #reseo https://t.co/0akw16tIXH

Might now be the moment to learn how to make a website or use photoshop?

@NoisyMV Telecommunication improvement. Reduced aviation. Increase of working from home = quality of life. Increased contact with/care for neighbours and elderly. Already improved awareness of disease transmission!

I feel so honoured to have worked on this show with @staffroommug @tinofpeas @kirstyjhopkins @charmianbedford @robgildon - come and see us! #TheMoonHares

@pewdiepie Do you want some opera singers in it?

[Opera Schmopera @OperaSchmopera]

@Passie_Kracht @mrnickharvey Wikipedia tells me that later versions were made less critical and thus more popular, but the Lord Invader original is biting social commentary. Definitely two fingers up to the Yankees, who clearly weren’t listening to the lyrics.

@musicologygeek @ejonesopera @boulezian The cutting edge of outreach is participation. Participation completely changes the way participants interact with an activity. A vote is not enough, as we know from elections and referendums. A workshop, however, or several, would completely succeed in engaging audience-curators

We are so grateful that our opera about young people's reactions to terrorism, "A Shoe Full of Stars", received funding from @ace_national in 2018. The show went on to win BEST OPERA FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES at the international #YAMAwards. Behind every great work: #NationalLottery25
