@ETOpera keep creating some of the most impressive, artistic vocal performances I have seen. Plus, the repertoire is less familiar, so I've learnt so much by watching these. Bravo here to @jdahall @TomElwin @HortonTenor, Simon Dyer (Bass) & Aileen Henry (Harp). #opera #earlymusic

[OPERAtion: What's My Why? @OperationWmw]

Also starring our very own Simon Dyer 👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Many people will turn George Floyd into a martyr today. We must fight to remember that he did not *give* his life for justice, for our movement, for an uprising. He wanted to live. He fought to live.
