Love, greed, hubris and obsession drive a narrative shaped by the sea and its legends in Wagner’s revolutionary opera of damnation and redemption.

We’re so delighted that @kennethwoods will be conducting @CityLdnSinfonia this coming Tuesday. Celebrating the mighty #NHS and his very strong heart with glorious music and voice.

Tues 12 Nov @ Smith Square @CityLdnSinfonia

Had to cut back my schedule after my health scare, but I couldn't miss this.

It would be great to see some friendly faces in the audience. I can use all the support I can get!

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Genuinely don’t know how @lewis_goodall kept his cool (relatively) in the #newsagents special report from Florida. I had to sit on a wall and take a beat. The red capes and white hoods are coming…..

the silence after saoirse’s “that’s what girls have to think about all the time” oh you just know they all felt stupid after that

Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

It’s not revenge. It’s courage.
It’s not lies. It’s truth.
It’s not consent. It’s rape.
It’s not chaos. It’s calm.

Justice. Hope. Power.

Holy cow. Chris Wallace just totally summarized the debate perfectly: “Tonight was just devastating. It was a shutout on almost every subject I can think of. Trump looked angry, scowling, and old.”

[Rowan Rutter @RowanRutter]

@AdeAdepitan smashes the honest full-throated Joy and
the kind, difficult, respectful heartbreak interviews and everything in between. He’s a brilliant, thoughtful commentator, and his care shines. #Paralympics2024

Let’s treat men who want guns the way we treat women who want abortions:

Waiting period
Parental permission
Doctor’s note
Watch video on dangers
Forced him travel hundreds of miles to gun store
Make him walk through protestors

Men are afraid that women will laugh at them.
Women are afraid that men will douse them with petrol & burn them alive or drug them till they're unconscious & invite strangers round to repeatedly rape them.

Huge congrats to the whole @operahollandpk on a fabulous summer. And thanks to team @CityLdnSinfonia as always for bringing the glorious music.

Load out day at @operahollandpk! 🥲
It is with gratitude that we look back at a wonderful 20th anniversary with our wonderful partners. Thank you to everyone who made this such a special season and to everyone who came to hear us play.
See you all next year!

@lewis_goodall @TheNewsAgents Honestly it was such a delightfully broad word porridge that I listened to it at least three times.

[Rowan Rutter @RowanRutter]

Shout out to @lewis_goodall for the greatest use of adjectives and references to describe M*sk’s approach to free speech, in a sublime 45 seconds on @TheNewsAgents from Hobbes to the Chimera!
