@Ahhmandah Come to Wellington, Te Papa is open until 6 every night and City Gallery does an after hours party every month with food trucks and live music all evening

@HelenClifton8 @StephDyhrberg That’s exactly what I told her

@josiecampbell My out-of-office is permanent! Goodbye opera, hello Te Papa

[Rebecca Galloway @rtgalloway]

@JimiLittlewood Or when they’re injured

@StephDyhrberg Thousand percent

@el_stepho It’s stress! I got a cold sore last week too. Thank god for masks being de rigueur at the mo.

[Rebecca Galloway @rtgalloway]

@StephDyhrberg I’m stumped. It’s been a long week

@TTuples @LimmiePulliam @Tzcttwit @MichaelSumuel They flew in Anna Netrebko after all, she isn’t based in Verona.

[Rebecca Galloway @rtgalloway]

@Tzcttwit @LimmiePulliam @MichaelSumuel Most opera companies aren’t ensemble companies - they fly in their principal artists, who specialize in certain types of roles. You might have a tenor who exclusively sings Wagner, or a soprano who pretty much just sings Tosca on repeat in different opera houses worldwide.

@plainricedinner I chose to come back to Te Whanganui-a-Tara after 9yrs overseas. Wellington isn’t looking too flash at the moment, it’s true. But I’ve also seen it in the midst of a cultural and economic upswing (in the early 2000s) and it’s amazing. So I’m hanging on and waiting…

@Tim_Batt The gold standard for sustainable venues = TOHU in Montréal

@ElizabethxKerr I mean, to be fair, it was a weird word

[Rebecca Galloway @rtgalloway]

@hroethgar Corporate sponsorship of the arts is almost nonexistent these days. State Insurance once had naming rights of the Opera House. Westpac had the St James. And for a long time, our national opera company was The NBR New Zealand Opera. Wild!

@StephDyhrberg This one was weird! I had zero letters come up in the first two goes, so had to make a sharp comeback. Wordle 375 4/6

@RuzhyoX @culturaltutor This isn’t true of interior design though - it’s considerably cheaper these days to buy good quality mahogany furniture secondhand than IKEA, because the mahogany isn’t in vogue. People choose cheap minimalism because of the way Pinterest/Instagram have homogenized taste.
