Slightly worried that my apple has taken #TheSubstance and there’s a younger, juicier apple out there I could be biting into instead…

Welcome to the Glasgow Subway! Your next train will arrive in 29 minutes! Thanks for choosing not to walk, which is technically quicker.

Does it matter that Hans Rott’s First Symphony is overblown and overlong when the Bamburgers played with with incredible fire and finesse? And, boy, did Rott like a triangle. Tonight at @edintfest #edintfest

Supremely stylish Mahler 5 from @the_halle at @bbcproms tonight. And a propulsive and quietly thrilling choral opener from Sir James MacMillan #BBCProms

Music hall larks and paintbox bright colours tonight in @ScottishOpera’s UK premiere of Marx in London. A crowd pleaser underpinned by a waggish score bristling with panache, wit, and a beating heart. Braviiiiii👏

That was a swings and roundabouts Elektra. Nina is back (mostly) but Loy’s production is woefully underdirected. Jukabiak sensational - but all the bouquets to Tony and the ROH band.

@pronouncedsham They say Stemme is on!

[Douglas Martin @doogyjim]

Word on the street is that Stemme is back…🪓🪓

Truly magical McBurney Magic Flute in Amsterdam. Ying Fang & Mingjie Lei just a wonderful Pamina and Tamino, with Rainelle Krause hitting heaven’s vault as the Queen.
