RIP Anna Picard. Very sad news of the death from cancer of an outstanding critic, writer and communicator – and a good friend of this magazine. Anna was Head of Communications and Insight and also Research and Repertoire Consultant at Opera Holland Park.

My goodness! Thank you so much for this torrent of kind words and good wishes. I am deeply touched. Everything crossed for tomorrow. 🙏🤞😀 Do give Alice Mary Smith a listen this week . When my lovely producer Luke Whitlock first suggested her, I thought it was an April fool.
