Still trying to process seeing one of the most ambitious & beautiful community operas I’ve ever witnessed - La Gata Perduda on the main stage @Liceu_cat @TRACTION_EU with a chorus of 300 local residents of Ravel and a total of 1,000 involved in making it happen. Incredible 🥰

[Aoife O'Connell @aoif_4]

Also special mention to @senseofpitch and @IrishNatOpera who have their own part in the @TRACTION_EU project. Look out for Out of the Ordinary/As an Gnách coming to a venue near you. We're lucky to have a national organisation so invested in community outreach.

I don't tweet alot... And I've never done a thread but I think this deserves it.
I've just seen La Gata Perduda @Liceu_cat. It was phenomenal!! An amazing example of community opera at work and how well it can be done. 300+ people on stage at once. What an achievement.

[Aoife O'Connell @aoif_4]

Huge congratulations to everyone involved, particularly @TRACTION_EU and all the community partners. An amazing example of how art in the community doesn't compromise on quality.

When will people learn the difference between less and fewer?

@RIAMDublin Suzanne Murphy has asked me to share with you that it's Ronnie singing Eurydice in Orfeo at Covent Garden with Kathleen Ferrier!

@OsianLlew @Rhianwen8 Amazing! Congratulations!!

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

To the person who first said “cheer up, it might never happen!” - I hope you’re happy, now that everything has indeed happened.

Ireland’s journey from pandemic hotspot to vaccine poster child https://t.co/0IqtWlamZl | opinion

[Edward Nirenberg 🇺🇦 @ENirenberg]

@GYamey In summary:
- COVID-19 in kids is very much a big deal
- The benefits of vaccination clearly outweigh the risks in children
- Vaccination of children is meaningfully beneficial for public health
- Most kids who get COVID seem to be fine. The ones who aren't matter too.

Wonderful to be part of @MusicMeath @mus_gen Quality Review for a vocal project in Meath. Really productive and focussed process; I've been inspired by the musicians involved working so well with some excellent young singers! Thanks for asking me @aoif_4
