REVIEW HMS Pinafore
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The unfurling of the @E_N_O flag is a poignant moment, met with a roar from the crowd. This excellent laugh-a-minute production is suitable for all the family from age five and up, and remember, under-21s go free."

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, leading Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson has blocked Donald Trump from firing U.S. Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger. He is responsible for enforcing ethics laws and protecting government whistleblowers.

RETWEET to thank Judge Jackson for standing up for our democracy!

@hugh_canning @wigmore_hall It was glorious!

[Effie Gray @_Effie_Gray_]

@roseandfriends @wigmore_hall You most certainly did him proud. That was deeply moving, I am in bits. It was a privilege to be there to celebrate the life of a wonderful singer and extraordinary man ...not to mention the array of gods and godesses of song on stage.

Dying/ill/disabled people still need suicide prevention & support if we feel we want to die.

Assisted suicide laws tends to circumvent that support, seeing our actions as inevitable.

Thanks to whoever taped @samaritans posters over the assisted suicide ones on the underground.

[Barenreiter @Baerenreiter]

Franz Schubert died today in 1828 in Vienna at the ridiculously young age of 31
Such a great composer who was a genius, a rebel, an unrequited lover and a tragic figure in western music history
Fortunately he left a wonderful legacy-over 1000 works in his brief 31 years

This afternoon in PMQs, @JohnSlinger stressed the importance of music education and asked the Prime Minister to invest in music and creatives subjects so that they are accessible for all children.

Hear the question and the PM's response👇
