Those @ace_national can I ask you... is this what you want your legacy to be? Because I feel so lucky to sing opera and bring (I hope) something to people every night on stage. Please check in with what you want to leave this country with.
A very sad day for UK arts today as our wonderful friends and colleagues at @E_N_O give their final performance before company-wide redundancies take effect tomorrow and cuts to @WelshNatOpera announced too. @ace_national and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. 1/2
@VmWingate@operfrankfurt Conducted by Alden Gatt, and directed by Tilmann Köhler, Verity will perform the role of Countess Almaviva. The production runs to 21 January 2024.

Good to know @BBCNews, good to know. Is that seriously where our TV License money is going?! That's more than your entire arts budget. Seriously... what the hell?!
I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!
@ben_hulett @lucyfrazermp @ISM_music 2/2 Shall we make some kind of group to deal with/protest this? All my work is abroad as @ace_national seem determined to decimate opera in the UK and with the cost of living crisis, losing thousands isn't something I'm particularly ok with.
@ben_hulett @lucyfrazermp @ISM_music 1/2 I've been dealing with this exact problem today. I spent an hour on the phone to HMRC this morning, only to be told that my A1 should be approved in another 13 weeks with postage taking 10-14 working days. I applied in early August for my job in Dec. It'll arrive in Feb.
Anoche, ensayo general del XXXI Concierto Premios Princesa de Asturias, con @AuditorioOVD lleno.
¡Qué bien suena @OSPAcom en sus «nuevos comienzos»! Muy versátil.
Gran versión #VaughanWilliams con el maestro Martyn Brabbins.
@VmWingate, @pauldgrant, coro @fpa
Hoy, concierto.
Absolutely the point:
"An opera company is defined by its chorus and orchestra - their passion, expertise and knowledge ENO is among the best in the world"
"This isn't levelling up, it is the killing off of the art form"
@ACE do need to be honest about the impact of cuts
The most extraordinary opera chorus I've ever had the privilege of being on stage with. This situation is unthinkable and unforgiveable. This chorus and this orchestra ARE @E_N_O. #saveenochorus#saveenoorchestra
