Time we put an end to the idea that opera is only for the nobbs. This tenor stopped the public in its tracks, and they stood transfixed, in the rain, and listened in awe ... to opera! youtube.com/shorts/Ccxru...

Anti-apartheid campaigner and Labour peer Lord Peter Hain: "If you start labelling people willy-nilly as terrorists right across the board, you're going down a very very dangerous route." PA's actions are often already illegal - criminal damage, and it is going through the courts, he says

To those who still call fox hunting a ‘tradition’: it’s nothing but barbaric cruelty. Real tradition is respecting nature, not destroying it. Time to enforce the ban and end the excuses!

Sir Nicholas Hytner “There are kids not introduced to drama, not introduced to music, and not introduced to art. The private education sector continues to pour money and resources into arts and sports. That has been progressively withdrawn from the state sector. That needs to change. It hasn’t yet."

Don't you just love ENO. Their mission is to share with all of us the wonderful music - and the drama - that is Opera. There is nothing so arresting as being surrounded with music and singing. Thank you #ENO

In the UK, let's know the value of the NHS and understand how an insurance based system works in the US - and recognise the difference.

The Opera appg's next event offers empirical evidence how children benefit from engaging in the arts and music, and why children should have an arts education. Our children are the country’s greatest asset.  We must nurture them, and never underestimate their capabilities. STEAM not STEM.

Last night's opening of ENO's Elixir of Love yet another reminder of the crassness of ACE to pull funding. Very clever setting and staging, and marvellous performances. Hugely enjoyable. Do go and see this funny opera. Free for under 21s. Tickets from £10. www.eno.org/whats-on/the...
