In Cardiff today for brush-up rehearsals Welsh National Opera I am strongly reminded what a superb chorus we have here: fabulous individuals who make up a world-class team. The accumulated expertise, experience, sheer quality is exceptional. Smaller roles in DiV all totally nailed.

This thread triples quite effectively as clickbait + a sales hustle as well as a recruitment drive.

Sold! I'll be there.

Tomorrow I'm going to the RFH for a quick afternoon concert. Starts at 3 pm and there's only one work so it should be over in plenty of time for tea.

It's called (checks listing) Götterdämmerung. Hm... could be anything.

I'm cool with the idea that critics are good for nothing except for one teenzy weenzy point...

Whoever designed the Numberblocks game at Learning Resources UK hasn't a clue about the strength in a 4-year-old's fingers. My grandson plays for hours - he adores Numberblocks - but he needs a grown up with him the entire time to help snap the pieces together.

Atrocious design. CBeebies Grown-Ups 🎉

Excellent piece. It needed saying.

The late Sir Andrew Davis stopped us (⁦The National Youth Orchestra⁩ ) while rehearsing the last mvt for the Proms in 2001 & said ‘I do hope some of you get to conduct this tune one day!’ Trading viola for stick this time round ⁦BBC Proms⁩ on July 30. youtu.be/Tv67YkOWJNA?si…

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson, who unexpectedly reopened the investigation into Angela Rayner’s addresses, spoke at the last Tory conference.

The appearance raised questions about his political impartiality, as since the event he's garnered Tory support for…

This is the best possible news. VP has been transformative and thrilling.

Pippa Crerar Mishal Husain The Conservatives have forced through an odious piece of legislation that drags the reputation of our country through the sewer. Legislation that is ludicrously wasteful of public funds. Legislation that is wilfully cruel and has no purpose other than to shore up Conservative…
