I'm choosing to assume this is how Leontyne Price opens the door to everyone

The way the UK’s world-class arts sector is being vandalised and dismantled is an utter scandal, but what is too obnoxious for words is how these cuts are always framed as being an OPPORTUNITY. Do they think anyone is persuaded by this, when all excellence is being torn down?

Mansfield Park - Over and out! ✅ Royal Northern College of Music

A fond goodbye to Mansfield Park 👋 It’s been an incredibly special time working on this opera. It will forever hold a very special place in my heart, as will the people I’ve spent the last three months with. Goodbye for now… Royal Northern College of Music

✨This gave us goosebumps – over 2,000 children gave a rapturous round of applause at last week's schools' matinee of The Royal Ballet's Cinderella! School matinees offer state and academy schools the opportunity to experience productions at our theatre. bit.ly/42ZaX9O
