Been to Glyndebourne this evening so missed the big news. A notorious philanderer, serial liar and all-round rogue got his comeuppance and then when Don Giovanni was over I heard about Boris Johnson.

Cheap tickets don’t attract young people to classical music due to one fundamental reason... They're not looking for value for money, they're looking for value for time david-taylor.org/blog/orches…

Off to Hinckley for the first (of very few!) rehearsal for Tosca with @stanleyoperaco Looking forward to shabby shocks and glorious music!
Opera is expensive, posh and you won’t understand a thing. If that’s what you think, why not watch this mythbusting video with @SteveSpeirs4 where his misconceptions about opera are shattered youtu.be/QQcmqqn3u74 #WNOgetintoopera

Coming soon to @MarqueeArtsTV! Our 2021 production of Don Pasquale goes live on Saturday 5th June!
Today marks 235 years since the first performance of Mozart's undisputed masterpiece, Le nozze di Figaro, at the Burgtheater in Vienna. To celebrate, why not get your tickets for our concert performances in Cardiff or Bristol at the end of August?
I’m gutted! After waiting for months for it to reopen, I unfortunately won’t be able to go to the gym today because I don’t want to.
