Just a thought, but how about funding world class opera productions in opera houses with the best singers/musicians/creative in one of the greatest cities in the world with wide range of ticket prices and telling everyone about it so they can’t wait to see it? #opera
We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at @E_N_O as they call on Arts Council England to reinstate them as a National Portfolio Organisation and restore their funding.

This person is Head of Music at the Arts Council. She has decided that large-scale opera in London should be cut because there is no “growth in demand.” Even if “growth” had anything to do with any art form, this is wildly disproportionate @ClaireMN_Music@ace_national@E_N_O
'It was everything and more that I could ever wish for!'

'The idea that these things are middle-class or posh is a national tragedy!'
James O'Brien is furious at those who make enjoying the arts 'elitist' in this passionate rant about the 'magic of art and culture'.
